QUOTE(Kernkraft400 @ Jul 17 2011, 04:27 PM) @selvenz, If u looking for bigger storage..it will be good. But the 1TB is only Samsung got right? and hard to findWhat about a 1TB HDD 2.5", plus a 2X4GB RAM combo? What's your opinion on this? For speed, performance and little sacrify on storage, 500gb momentusXT. If U want to tweak out max, SSD + 500gb momentusXT/750gb on optibay. Understand samsung 1TB had problem fix into optibay.. Correct me if I am wrong |

QUOTE(forger @ Jul 24 2011, 07:35 PM) 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 Not unless U plan to go to SSD route with 2nd Big size HDD at optibay. Best of both world.  |

QUOTE(Masamune @ Jul 26 2011, 02:19 AM) Hey, I plan to upgrade my MB Alu's HDD to Momentus XT. But I've heard different reviews. Some days there are freezing etc. Any Momentus XT users care to clarify? MomentusXT user here...No freeze. There is a new firmware not long ago. I would suggest to flash it if your still on old version |

QUOTE(fangheart @ Jul 26 2011, 12:08 PM) Hi guys, U can alway bring your MBP to the PC shop. Open up and install the ram on the spot. Then power up, run some ram test to confirm ok.Can anyone tell me if Kingston (KTA-MB1333/4G) is compatible with Macbook Pro 15" Early 2011? I suppose I can install 2 x KTA-MB1333/4G to get my 8GB memory upgrade ya? (Not sure if this is the right way of upgrading to 8GB) Do tell the shop before hand that U want to test the ram before buy. Normally they will ok one. |

QUOTE(ben16 @ May 8 2012, 12:24 PM) Can consider if the price is good - 16GB RAM for MBP 15". - Mind I ask how much U had paid after the conversion and shipping fee?Update: Just put in order at Amazon.de for a pair. Thanks for the link. Strangely Amazon.usa cannot ship to Malaysia but amazon.de can. Also interested in 2.5" 1TB 7200 rpm HDD but cannot find. Maybe does not exist?? Correction - It does exist locally, Saw on the LYN price list. Got link? |
