[QUOTE="Queensgate555, post: 1514184, member: 293407"] So, in my last message, I commented on how my MacBook Pro seemed to take an awful long time to boot up and was always "waiting" when asked to preform any task; this is comparing the cloned 320 Gigabyte to the operation with the "original" 120 Gig Fujitsu HD. My first clone was made with 'Disk Utilities' so, after a week, I decided to try a different program (CCC) to see if the image that I cloned to the 320 Gig HD would work any better that the first one. Same results, a sluggish responding system that was slow to boot up. I re-installed the original 120 Gigabyte Fujitsu HD and, the MBP boots up normally and is at least 2-4 times faster than with the Western Digital 320 Gig HD installed. I see that some older model MBP were released with the Fujitsu 120 GB Hard Drives. Still running on the 120 Fujitsu; wonder why the Fujitsu works better than the clone? BTW: I took the 320 GB Hard drive and using GHOST, I cloned a Windows PC and installed the drive and, the PC runs quicker now than with the factory drive that was installed; the 320 Gig HD is not bad at all. From your experience, does one brand of Hard Disk Drives perform better than another in MBPs ? . [/QUOTE]
