I just replaced my stock 80gb in my macbook with a 160gb. The hard drive specs are essentially identical except for the extra space. The new 160 gb hd is extremely slow. Everytime I try to do something, I seem to get the spinning beach ball. I am not doing anything differently or running any different apps. I also don't notice any extra noise from the new hard drive. I was under the impression that having more free space on the hard drive will slightly improve the performance. Thanks for the help! I am fairly new to the mac family.
