1st impression, FAST !  biggrin.gif Just cloned my main drive into my SSD. Gosh, everything is so much snappier. Launching Microsoft Word used to take 8-11 bounce on my previous Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue, how about now you ask? It is like opening Safari, just took a second. Photoshop CS4 took 2 sec to launch. Best of all, I can't seem to feel any vibration on my palm-rest area anymore. That may increase of my Battery Life Hopefully?
Played around with Command+A in my Application Folder and launch every App I have. It just took seconds to launch everything. The dock suddenly became super long (without lag). Haha.  cool2.gif

SSD Rocks !  laugh.gif

why not get the 7k500? its 299 at c-zone both in Lowyat and Digital Mall Section 14.

comparing 7k500 and western digital cavier blue 500gb 5400rpm which one is better? a 7200rpm hdd will causes much more noise and vibration? in term of performance? which one is better?

@hapa
Some of us here are having problem with the WD Caviar Blue 500gb such as clicking sound of the head parking. Me myself solve it using HDAPM (http://mckinlay.net.nz/hdapm/) but I'm looking to replace this HD to the Hitachi one.

ya, im worry about the click noise oso..
so, anyone that using 7k500, do it hv the click noise? how about the vibration? and battery life?

i found this SSD + HDD = HYBRID
seagate momentus XT

I'm already on the lookout for this for my MacBook Pro... in fact I've got a thread below on this:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1454485&hl=

thx dude.. but unfortunately, replies seem not all ppl like the hybrid.
how can we justify the price of it? i assume it the price should be much more expansive than HDD and with smaller capacity oso.

Is it that cheap...?  hmm.gif I don't think so...

Not on sale yet in Malaysia, but I expect no lesser than RM 500... US retailers selling then for as low as $130...
dude, you should do a lot more reading on this...
*
ok, so the price difference is not that huge compare with typical HDD..
after reading some of the review, the performance is definitely faster. battery life is good oso.

might consider to get this then, but still not yet available in bolehland huh?
