I'd like to squeeze out all the performance I can get out of my new MBP. Going to 6GB of RAM is just too expensive right now (about $600) so I thought about upgrading the hdd.
I have a 5400rpm Hitachi 5K320. Will there be a real performance increase if I go for a 7200rpm Hitachi 7K320? I've done some research and the reviews all agree that this drive is a good buy, along with the WD Scorpio Black and the one from Seagate.
Also, I plan on buying and ExpressCard 32GB SSD drive to use a sratch disk for Photoshop, though the current generation do not offer great perfomance (just 8MBps writes). A sales representative from Transcend told me their working on the 2nd generation right now and should be out soon.
What do you think?
