[QUOTE="Deckyon, post: 1522123, member: 197651"] 2006 - 2013 is a good run for ANY laptop, regardless. Laptop HDD's are volatile. Good backups and proper expectations are key. On the 2nd HDD, did you buy it because it was cheap? Even so, 4 more years on it is fine. Apple doesnt make HDDs. They get them from a supplier just like the rest of us. HDD is not RAM. Adding RAM will not add storage space. Clean up your data. Do periodic maintenance - these things are discussed in detail on this site, search. [/QUOTE]
