Here are three.
I would personally get the 7200.10 for $199. I have the IDE version, but I got it on a Black Friday sale from newegg. Was $229 at the time, $80 off for $149.

Also I was wondering, where kind i find the type of adhesive they use on the sensor for the hd? It looked like that clear glob of sticky stuff they put behind you're credit card/atm card when you get it in the mail.
No instructions.
It's really easy to anyone thats mechanically/technically inclined, I guess
You need like t5~t9 screw drivers, preferably magnitized and realllllly thin pliers for when assembling it back together and dropping a screw.
I used the pictures on this as a reference on how everything comes apart, after that it was pretty smooth sailing.
Being the lame-o I am, I went to far and removed the logic board, which was completely uncessary. I thought I had to remove it to get to these screws below the hd, but you don't. The hdd simply clips off, without any unscrewing at all.
