[QUOTE="iLaw, post: 660887, member: 56662"] I would like to point out that MacBook Pro (as well as all other Apple Notebooks) hard drives have Sudden Motion Sensors built in. Upgrading to an aftermarket drive generally doesn't allow this feature to be used anymore unless the drive supports it. The larger capacity drives that are coming out now do not have it. As far as I know the largest 5400 RPM drive is 250 GB and the largest 7200 RPM drive is 200 GB (which are the maximum sizes currently available from Apple). Not that the drive wouldn't work without the Sudden Motion sensor, it's just a good feature to have, and it may make the difference between losing and keeping data should your Mac fall. [/QUOTE]
