[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 241748, member: 5184"] Yes, numerical that is true, yet it doesn't mean that the overall increase will be 33%. There are many more factors to consider... As SATA drives with 5400rpm have considerably faster access times than PATA drives of the same speed, the original MacBook drive doesn't feel really slow. So if the overall performance increase is only marginal, I prefer spending the money on capacity rather than rpm's, especially as more rpm equals more heat. And we all know about heat with MacBooks and MacBook Pros... :oneye: [/QUOTE]
