These machines have Apple priority temperature sensors on the hard drives. If you change the brand of the drive the temperature cable must be replace with the correct one. There are three different ones. Click on the hard drive tab of this link to find compatible drives:

Here are the Apple part numbers for the cables:

922-9223 Hitachi

922-9224 Seagate

922-9225 Western Digital

Of course you won't need to change the cable if you replace with the same brand of drive.
