[QUOTE="flo1328, post: 839618, member: 99203"] I had the fan problem as well after I put a western digital 500 GB into my macbook pro. Both Fans had 6000 rpm constantly. I found that one of the two connectors of the thermal sensor on the hard disk wasn't in contact with the disk. I fixed it with some tape and everything works fine now. Fan speed is normal again. You have to be really careful with the cable and connectors of the thermal sensor, when you take it off your old hard disk, so that it stays sticky. [/QUOTE]
