Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 :D

[Spyhop]

£5?

The MBP chassis is basically the same as the second revision PowerBook G4 from 2003, so its a 5 year old design.

I meant we didn't strike lucky with the MB - they designed it that way because it's a good feature.

If they were to do a major redesign of the MB Pro, they'd make sure to include it too, IMO. I'll hassle you for a fiver when the time comes!

Fujitsu also have a 320gb 7200rpm drive coming out the end of this month to, will be interesting to see how the two compare.

As do Western Digital http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp... 7200RPM SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD3200BEKT) so that's gonna be three 320gb 7200rpm drives on the market

I'm not exactly chomping at the bit to pick up an Hitachi drive...

That Western Digital, however, :drool:

The Hitachi was the fastest 200Gb version...

I will however be picking up the drive with the best random access/random read/write speeds!

the older 7k200 hitachi did kick some butt in the comparisons, it was always top of the league for consumption/speed etc...

I guess I'm still holding a grudge from the Deathstar days

 

[SooTyLaD]

although i would have thought the hitachi would come out on top again, i'll wait for someone to do a round-up of the big three and buy the best

Hmmm, I've had two die (both in my white Macbook). One lasted about a year, the other about 4 months. 7k200 and 7k250.

I'm gonna move to the WD Scoripio Black and hope that's better. I know you can send off for a replacement, but do I really trust them with my personal data
