Hi. Anyone have tried to upgrade their MacBook Pro Unibody HDD to Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid HDD? Is it compatible with it? <-- Ok ignore this. Just search and found the feedback. Hehe.

The MacBook Pro I plan to upgrade still under warranty with Apple, will it void the entire warranty when I take out the original HDD and replaced it with a new one?

@ six footer nope, HDD is a user removable upgrade. just make sure not to scratch / damage anything when upgrading.

if you're worried about DIY, I'm sure some of us here don't mind doing it for you, just buy us dinner smile.gif

Oh it don't sounds good now. I thought it suppose to spin lesser than the conventional HDD.

How about the battery life difference and also the performance on booting up and shutting down the Mac? Got difference?
