Hi
I am looking to upgrade my Macbook Hard Drive. I was looking for a 100Gb 7200rpm.

What kind of HDD is in the Macbook? Its states it’s a SATA on the Apple website. Are all SATA Connections the same.

Has anyone bought & Changed there Macbook HDD?

Does anyone have any reccomendations?

Any other Advice much appreciated.

Cheers
 
and remind me why thats got anything to do with the Linux, OS X & Open Source section of the forums
 
Hi

all SATA connections are the same as far as i'm aware, i would stick with the same speed drive to avoid heat issues. not sure where the drive is on these new macs but use to be a pain to change on the ibook g3's.


just found this:-


it's a doddle to do looking at that.

cheers

A bunch of us wanted a Mac specific forum created but our request never got anywhere so we are stuck asking Mac related questions under Linux, OS X & and Open Source. Please feel free to complain to OCUK it might get us what we wanted but till then I am affraid you will have to put up with us :)
 
The standard drive is a 5400rpm 2.5" SATA.

It will be fine with a 7200rpm, and changing it is easy if you follow the steps in the youtube video :cool:
 
to be fair, i think it probably needs to be asked once more whether a specific 'mac users' forum is required, i see more and more people on these forums getting a mac since the intel chip migration and affordable mac products have become available like the mini.

+3 :D

Also, perhaps then the Linux/Windows users will visit there less often, which often turns a topic into a "My OS is better than yours, damn right".

I'm not saying there's no Mac fanatics running to Windows thread and brag but it defo reduce the count.

:confused:
You really see this sort of behavior in this forum? Can you show me some examples of Linux users exhibiting that attitude?
 
Also certain people seem to forget this was a Linux/ Open-source forum long before it was a Mac forum. And most of the "my OS is better than yours" were originally started by Mac users!
 
I think it's fair to move this one tbh - it's turned into more of a generic SATA HDD question. :)

Oh, and can we put the Mac forum question to bed right now please. It's not on topic for a start.
 
go for the hitachi 7k100. i've got the pata version ...and believe it or not, it is quicker and my battery life has been extended!!!
i read somewhere a comparison between the rubbish drives fixed on powerbooks and the hitachi. indeed, the hitachis have a lower power consumption.
