Just update my momentus xt to SD24 for my 13" mbp. The upgrading procedure was smooth, no error messages appear or what so ever. What I can tell is my HDD run much quieter then before, and slightly much faster.
*
mind to explain what is SD24.
i also use momentus xt.

so the only upgrades available are HDD & RAM?
hmmm... don't think worth it.

might as well wait for new mbp and sell my current mbp 2010 and get a new one? =3

thanks anyway.

Have u all heard about the momentus XT? It's hybrid, SSD and HDD if I'm not mistaken. Had anyone use this before? Surveyed the price at lowyat, only cost around rm4++ for 500gb. Which one should I upgrade first, RAM or SSD? Which one will greatly increase MacBook performance?
*
i been use for 3 months ago.
the performance 2x faster than normal hdd but for sure ssd is more faster smile.gif
check at viewnet last time i bought rm399 for 500gb.

any significant battery life issues after using momentus XT? i think its time to upgrade my MBP (mid 2010) as well
*
better u buy SSD.
when i put XT in my mbp my battery will run out fast.
n the hard disk always crash.
that is my experience
