[QUOTE="danipoak, post: 1550746, member: 315139"] I first look and see which have the best warranties. If it is less than 3 years then I won't get it. After that I think most hard drives are more or less the same and I look and price and reviews (must me 7200 RPM as well). Another suggestion is to remove your optical drive and place an SSD in the primary and move your current drive to the optical bay. I recently did this to my 5 year old pro and it runs almost as fast as my 2 year old air. I never used the optical drive and I don't miss it. Check Other World Computing for SSDs. [/QUOTE]
