I was hoping to upgrade the 80gb hard drive on my macbook now, to the maximum it can hold (500gb). I hear good things about the Western Digital Scorpio Blue, so I was going to go with that one if it was recommended.
I have a white macbook, pre-unibody, 2.0 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 2.5 Gb ram, running OSX 10.5. As much as I would love a shiny new macbook pro, I can't afford one and it's way cheaper to upgrade the hard drive and os.
I know I need to format the hard drive for mac once I buy it, but my question is that can I buy the snow leopard discs and use the disk utility on the snow leopard discs, so that the new hard drive will just install snow leopard straight away? If what I'm saying makes any sense lol
Basically I would like my new hard drive to run snow leopard straight away. Which is possible, yes?
