I just ordered a new hard 500GB 7200.4 7200rpm Seagate Momentus Hard Drive from Dell. Unfortunately that was the only place I was able to get it for many reasons, mostly being financial. But to the point. I ordered it and it should get here in a week, the problem i am facing is that it has a gforce sensor which i have heard tends to conflict with the sms sensor on the macbook pro. I just want reassurance i guess that if I turn off the sms sensor on my mac the new momentus hard drive will work fine. I also read in other threads but with not too much detail that I shouldnt turn off the sms sensor on my mac. I dont see a big deal with doing that because the hard drive comes with a gforce sensor and that should be sufficient. Shouldn't it?
I have googled this hard drive day and night for like two weeks straight, and I really want it, i guess my desire for the drive made me order it from dell. I couldnt wait to let the first generation work out the kinks and also wait until i could afford a momentus without the gforce from like owc or newegg. Ohh well, what is done is done and now i need feedback. I am a newbie but I have learned alot by googling and stuff.
SO far i have been able to find out about turning off the sms, using ccc or superduper to clone the drive and I have also seen not to cover the breathing hole in the new drive with the wires. Umm ohh and to also be very careful with the ribbon wires, I have seen that some people yanked on them and they messed up their macbooks what a shame. Anything else I should know?
I have read from other posts that some people went the same route I did and their drive is working wonderfully. FEEDBACK?
