    Replacing harddrives on MacBook!

    The 250 Gb harddrive died on my "Penryn" (early 2008) Macbook recently and I'm wondering if I can replace with any 250 GB 5400 RPM
    SATA Harddrive?

    Currently I'm looking at one HITACHI Travelstar 5K500.B HTS545025B9A300 (0A57912) 250GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    and one Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD2500BEVS 250GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" SATA 1.5Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive -Bare Drive

    but I don't know whether 3.0Gbs or 1.5Gbs works or is preferred!

    Will either of these drives work on my Penryn MacBook?

    Thank you, very much.
