[QUOTE="wrastler909, post: 842209, member: 98803"] Well its me again with an update. Im very disappointed that no one responded or posted some sort of feedback. But just in case there are other lost souls out there like me who are clueless and are attempting to change their first hard drive on a very expensive little toy (macbook pro) I posting a followup. I changed the hard drive today and it went actually faster then I thought. I had a bit of trouble with the ribbons but besides that it was ok. CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) worked awesome in mirroring my hard drive. No programs missing everything just like i left it. Now for the hard drive review. The hard drive is not as wonderful as i thought but i am not disappointed neither. It is very quiet, actually quieter than the stock toshiba 200gb hard drive that it came with, the heat, I do not feel anything, its cooler than the stock drive. The only thing that I did feel was a bit of vibration, but nothing that is horrendous, its just a little vibration which I got accustomed to and I really dont notice it anymore. The only complaint that I have on this momentus is that the start up is a bit slower than the stock hard drive but once I am at the dock the hard drive is more responsive than the previous one. Lose something, gain something. But what I was after was really the 500gb space and I got it. Ohh another big thing is that this 7200 rpm hard drive does eat up my battery pretty quick. But that does not bother me because everywhere I go there are outlets and it is rare if I am not connected to one so thats no biggie. Hope this helped. If anyone knows what may be causing my slow startup, its not really slow I would say it is a second or two slow than the previous hard drive, post a suggestion please. [/QUOTE]
