i just take the plunge yesterday and upgraded my macbook pro 160Gb harddisk to 640Gb WD scorpio blue.

currently everything is running smoothly. no noise, no slowdown... will monitor the condition for a couple of week before confirmation. *cross my fingger*

i just read the instruction online on the swapping and reinstalling the harddisk.

understand what needed to be done and jump. hahahaha

its rather easy, even a monkey can do it.
you just need the right tools for the right job. (correct size screwdriver).

everything is clear cut all that you must decide is how to transfer the old data from the old HDD to your new one.

i just copy my 160gb hd to my new 640gb HD. easy

total time taken ~4 hours

BTW used time machine olso can. snow leopard have made it very easy

lol, mine is still okay. my scorpio blue 640GB just install last week. still working as per normal.


i guess im just lucky. maybee (still monitoring for any click)

Hi guys, my superdrive is getting wonky. And i'm thinkin of removing it alltogether and add another hard disk at its place. My question is;

1.where can i find the data doubler in malaysia?

2. If were to repair it. How much would it cost?

Brw im using the late 2009 mpb 13"

Regars

just upgraded my hdd to ssd+hdd. im cruising.....

booting is faster.

128GB ssd
500GB WD hdd
8Gb ram

+ hotway 4x external drive bay for 3.5" hdd. (too bad its not firewire)

i wont be having space problem for a while.

Im using OCZ vertec 2

i just not in the mood for DIY, get Wei to do it all. also bought the optibay from him.

nice, max 8 gig for that only. to bad there are no firewire option for hotway casing.

but if you only get much space without the increase of speed. it would be quite lagging. no point to get 1 tb of space if its take a couple of minutes accessing it. lol
