The Not-so-Good: Sounds like another fan. Vibration under the right palm rest. It may be considered annoying, but will become less noticeable over time.
This drive was installed in an Early 2008, 13" White MacBook 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM. It was easy to insert and remove, but the silver cover must be transferred from the old HDD to the new one. It may be difficult to find a proper bit for the screws, but careful improvisation of needle-nosed pliers may be considered.
After replacing the disk, the old hard drive (Hitachi) must be used to boot the system externally (through USB or FireWire 400) using an external enclosure. Upon restart, the Erase feature of Disk Utility can be used to format the WD as an OS X Journaled. Then unplug the Hitachi, reboot again, insert the OS X Install Disk, and use a Time Machine backup disk for a System Restore. This will take nearly 3 hours to transfer 147GB through FireWire 400.
