I just wonder why people have to have all this music going when showing how to do a procedure like this ... I find it unnecessary and neddlessly distracting. Thanks for showing me what to expect tomorrow when I do this myself.

It is slightly faster then the installed 5400 RPM and Seagate is commonly recommended by Apple. I would recommend a Seagate 500GB 7200RPM Serial ATA 2.5 hard drive.

In my experience, specifically working on this model of Mac Mini, the brand is not so much an issue. I would recommend sticking with a standard brand like Crucial or OWC RAM chips (my preference), and would stay way from the cheaper chip sets (you get what you pay for). As for the Hard Drive I would follow the same train of thought and get something that Apple uses themselves, Maxtor, Western Digital or Seagate. Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment.
