[QUOTE="Traybair, post: 1246823, member: 203561"] So I have a friend that has decided to purchase a Mac. (Finally ;D ) Specifically a 15'' Macbook pro (2.2GHz.) Now when ordering he came across these options for the hard drive [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/pvLkz.png[/IMG] He asked me what he should go with and I told him to sacrifice a little bit of space and go with the faster drive. (It is doubtful that he will ever fill even half of a 500gb Hard drive.) Later on his other friend told him "A faster hard drive will wear on itself harder and go out faster" and wants him to go with the 5400 rpm. :Confused: He is torn so I thought I would get the expert opinion from you guys to help him decide... ;D So, what is your advice?
