I've had good luck with 2.5" Hitatchi and Western Digital drives - they're all more or less created equal. Just make sure you get a 7200rpm one. I'd also get an enclosure with it, as it'll make the process a lot simpler. Put the new drive in the enclosure, plug it into your laptop, and use some software to clone the drive (I used Acronis, which has a free trial that's plenty long enough to do one transfer). Then physically swap the drives and you're left with a 200GB external drive that you can use for whatever you want. Just make sure you get an enclosure that's solely powered by USB, as there's no point being saddled to an AC adapter on a 2.5" enclosure.
