[QUOTE="mjconn, post: 810743, member: 62540"] [b]Seagate 500gb 7200rpm[/b] So i've had the memory upgrade (maxed at 4gb) for a couple of months now. I'm now getting ready to change out my harddrive. I've noticed that Seagate has put out a [URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/Seagate/SATA/7200RPM"]7200 rpm 500gb[/URL] drive that looks tempting. Of course there are no reviews on it yet (heat, noise) and Seagate is just getting over a HDD lemon issue on one of their models, so I'm thinking of holding off for a bit. I know most sites are backordered on that drive. Anyone get their hands on it yet? I was wavering between a 320gb 7200 rpm drive vs a 500gb 5400 rpm drive, but that may be a moot point now with Seagates introduction. I had also read that past 250gb on a 320gb HDD performance slows drastically, so I don't want to be hampered by disk size like that. Kind of rambling, but any thoughts? I just noticed that Seagate dropped their usual 5yr warranty on the 500gb drive to 3yrs!? [/QUOTE]
