normally the service part come in a pair,they'd let you know otherwise.

owh..the price must be RM500 + RM100 service charge onwards per pair.

planning to get macpro soon..

lol then why not get the spare part from ebay and ask wei to fix for you?

My Time Capsule have just suffered a silent death yesterday. It's not powering up at all. Anyone offering services to fix it?

Just did some upgrade to my Mac Pro.
Now running 2x 500GB RAID Edition Drive as boot drive. Boot volume is RAID-0. Data is on own volume.

Added another 2x OWC 2GB FB-DIMM and removed the 512MB modules. Running only first 2 bay for both memory riser for better performance.

Lastly a GPU upgrade to XFX 4870 1GB DDR5.

hi all.
i'm a new macbook user, in fact i'm new to mac os x. i've check it's RAM, it said only about 200mb free? whoah that's too low, is it? (compared to windows system i've used before, always like at least 800mb free). Should i consider upgrade to 4 gig? if so, how much should that cost me? can i just buy ram from pc shops and upgrade it myself cuz i think that would be much cheaper.

Sorry if someone already bring this topic earlier, but i couldnt find it.

its ok. inactive is in ready state. different OS got different architecture.

guys, wanna ask.
if the spindle speed of my hdd on my macbook is 5400-rpm.
cn i upgrade my hdd but different spindle speed? i mean if more higher, still can?

refer here for more info > http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/912014

yes you can, but some ppl said the vibration from 7200 rpm is unbearable.

guys, cant i get some opinions? im looking forward to upgrade my HDD to a 320GB one (maybe 500gb if the price not much difference)

should i go for the hitachi travelstar 5k320, 7k320, wd scorpio blue or scorpio black (bekt)? so far i read the hitachi and scorpioblue got positive results, so which of the two is better in ur opinion? for the 7k320 and the scorpioblack seems like mixed results particularly about the vibration issue. how bad is it for a 15" macbookpro unibody? i dont need the (supposedly) performance increase but it's always nice to have more speed ;p.

im also thinking about getting a 320gb (again, maybe 500gb..depends) wd passport essential and swapping its drive with my notebook's, is it advisable? which model hdd is in there and how big is the cache?

thanks

have a read here > http://macperformanceguide.com/Storage-Dri...ptopDrives.html

btw im using wd scorpio blue 500gb and i can feel the difference compare to the stock hdd.

thx preducer, thats a nice site seems like the 500gb scorpio blue is one of the best 500gb drives out there. can it be said for the 320gb one as well?

i also have a WD 500gb mybook essential which i intend to use for time machine backup. so if i put in a 500gb drive in my notebook, will it work for time machine (since both are same capacity)? or do i need to make partitions?

Added on August 9, 2009, 11:59 pmoh wait i just read other pages from that website. now i know why some ppl say a 5400rpm 500gb can outperform a 7200rpm 320gb. inner/outer disk. wow i never thought abt that. impressive
