[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 854526, member: 98520"] There will be users who report successfully fitting 7200 rpm drives to Macbooks, but I tend to ere on the side of caution. I replace no end of hard drives in Macbooks each day, sometimes 3 or 4, and wouldn't want to temp early life failure, as even the 5400 rpm drives seem to fail readily. 7200 rpm drives in MBP's, yes. I only fit Seagate drives, and WD 500 GB drives in MBP's, but only as the company I work for only buy these in for out of warranty spares, but find they perform well and are as reliable as any HD could be.
