Hey Ralph I tried installing it and it didn't do anything because my mac is a late 08 macbook unibody and it says this computer doesn't need thi update. Is this hard drive too powerful for my computer

Hi, It appears your computer came with a 320 GB drive but 5400 not 7200. I would think the drive would be ok -- just noisy but am a little concerned about the clicking noise. If possible try the drive in an external case and if you still get the clicking you may have a bad drive. I'm including a url for your computer specs. Hope this has been of some help. Ralph

maybe you can try WD3200BEKT or BJKT, could be quieter and less vunlerable.
