The highest capacity 2.5 inch 5400rpm ATA drive is (or will be when it
ships) the 200GB Toshiba MK2035GSS. Otherwise, Hitahchi Travelstar and
Seagate Momentus drives are now available in 160GB capacities.

My preference would be for Hitachi, followed closely by Seagate. Toshiba
drives do not currently have a good reputation for reliability.

The largest 2.5" drives around, unless something's come out very
recently, is 120GB.

Here's a reliable vendor:

Both Hitachi and Seagate have 160GB 2.5" drives now.

In ATA or only SATA? (No, wait. I can look. Just musing aloud...)

Ah, okay. I had found some >120 before, but only SATA so I neglected
them responding to the OP's PowerBook query. Should've looked harder.
