I wondered about that, Rick Hawkins the macman suggests a basic 1TB
Tosh, $60 from Amazon. I'll just go with that, cheap enough.

I would avoid a hybrid drive, as they have had issues.
Go with an SSD if you can deal with the lesser amount of space. It will make
the machine scream.

Looks like a Tosh or Seagate hybrid might be the way to go

So after an hour at the apple store and various incantations and application of
Black Arts, the genii determined that the hard drive was going bad (wait, wait,
I am detecting an incipient failure in the AE-435 unit...) and the software
update probably stressed it enough to pretty much make it so it did not want to
work and boot and such. They could not pull the one file off it I wanted, but
suggested putting the drive in an external case might enable me to find and
pull the file. No big deal, about 1.5 hour of editing a doc, but still...
They did not charge me anything, that was nice.
So I am going to get a 1TB drive and put it in, see if I can reanimate it.
They wanted $160 for a 500GB replacement, I think not. Should be able to do an
internet OS load, if not the guy said I could come back in and they would do it
all.
If anyone has a particular suggestion for a good drive, please feel free to
share.
The machine is an early 2011 Macbook Pro 2.7GHz 4GB and an ebola-infected 500GB
HD. It had some flavor of 10.8 OS which looked like a panther of some sort.
