want to upgrade the HD

I am going to upgrade my Mac mini HD to a 100 or 120GB hd, and want to reformat the current 80GB in the mini after backing up and such and stick it in my PowerBook G4 Alu 1Ghz. the HD in the powerbook is only a 60GB and it is staring to die (making the clicky noises and is slow)..i bought the mini in August...and use a Ext FW drive for all my media storage. Do they use the same kind of connector? Thanks

Mac Mini Intel 1.83Ghz; PowerBook G4 1.0Ghz, Mac OS X (10.4.8), Lacie Lightscribe, Pioneer 7.1VSX-526, Polk Audio RM6005, iPod Mini, HDR-HC1

Personally if I was going to change my Mini's HDD I would only consider this drive:

Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 100GB (HTS721010G9SA00)

search for that on google, read a few reviews and look at the difference a 7200rpm HHD makes to the responsiveness of a computer. And all reviews state that its draws the same amount of power as a 5400rpm HDD so no extra heat making it ideal for a Mini!
