Use newer 2.5" SATA disks in a MacBook or Mac mini

I just spoke with Western Digital tech support and they said all of their SATA drives are backwards compatibile with SATA1 controllers, FYI. My Macbook has the ICH7 controller and so any drive should work.

Don't know about other brands but I'm going to spring for the WD3200BEKT.
