[QUOTE="mac57, post: 667761, member: 17052"] Ah, OK. I guess that leaves me with the option of Seagate's Momentus 7200.3, which is still so new as to be scarce. However, it is a pretty fast drive too - not in the same camp as the Velociraptor, but very fast for a notebook disk. I am starting to think of upgrading my MacBook Pro to this larger drive and an additional 2 GB of RAM - should give it nice performance boost. However, having seen the on line tutorials for upgrading a MBP disk, I think I would want an Apple tech to do it... looks pretty complicated and potentially error prone. I have built and enhanced many desktop machines, but I have never messed around in the innards of a notebook before. I am not sure that an MBP is the right place to start! [/QUOTE]
