[QUOTE="dmccloud, post: 1257932, member: 118151"] You can get a faster HDD without shelling out the money for an SSD. The easiest (and most cost effective) way is to move up to a 7200RPM drive. On my MacBook Pro (early 2011 13.3"), I spent about $130 on a 500GB 7200RPM hybrid drive (has 4GB SSD in addition to the 32MB cache), and it's made a noticeable difference in the performance of my system. With you laptop being a bit older, there's a chance a hybrid drive may not play nice with your system. [/QUOTE]
