New hdd 1 TB for mac book pro 6,2 (April 2010) osx 10.8.3

I am quickly reaching a full disk (500 gb) in my MBP and I am looking for a new internal HDD of at least 1 TB. What are the best options available ?
Power consumption is an issue (I think I want to avoid 7200 rpm) and reliability is another issue together with cost (that is why I am not considering an SSD - such as corsair).
Anyone has a suggestion of a specific internal hdd I could use ?
thanks

I have these HGST HDDs in my MBPs:

I now use these for external storage and were replaced by the former as internal HDDs

I have found both to be satisfactory as internal HDDs.

  • Best way to transfer everything on new hard drive for mac book pro

    Hi have a mid-2009 macbook pro with 4 GB ram and 250 GB hard drive, which is full now.  I just bought 8 GB RAM to speed it up and a new 1 TB hard drive.  I am running latest Lion (that I downloaded from mac app store - I have the original install DVD for Snow leopard).  What would be the best and cleanest way to transfer everything (OSX, applications, data, files, user preferences, passwords, etc from the old hard drive to the new one)^
    1- I heard I can hook the new hard drive via USB and  do a clean install of my Snow leopard DVD, then update to Lion via mac app store.  Then how do I transfer everything else?
    2- I also heard about carbon copy cloner, but somewhere it says there is a file in Lion that this will not copy.
    Anybody have any helpfull answers?
    thanks

    My suggestion would be to use Migration Assistant. This program you have in your Utilities folder and once you hook up your old Hard Drive to the new computer via USB or Target Disk mode, it will pretty much direct you on how to do the whole process. If you have any other questions, let me know.

    Office::2008 was drag & drop, but Office::2011 has an installer you need to run.

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.
    Here's the link for the safeboot

    No. It does not provide sufficient power for a MBP unless you have a 13" model that uses a 60 watt adaptor.

    Yes, install Flash, right here.

    Keep it updated, check here

    or here

    Tell your son never to install Flash from non-Adobe websites
    Flash and Silverlight are what's called web browser plug-ins that allow viewing of content on a lot of websites, it's so one format can be used with many different operating systems, computers and web browsers.
    So once you install Flash (or Silverlight if you use Netflix) then it's used by all web browsers you may have installed.
    However Flash can be used as a exploit angle, so  sure to keep it updated and not install it juts because a web site says so, bookmark the link above so you always download it from there.
    (I won't trick you, I would be banned if I did, plus Apple knows where I live.)

    Where and how can i install more korean fonts for mac book pro?
    thanks guys.

    Do you really need more?  OS X comes with quite a few already: Gungseo, HeadlineA, Nanum Brush, Nanum Gothic, NanumMyungjo, Nanum Pen, PCMyungjo, PilGi, AppleGothic, AppleMyungjo
    If so, just do a google search for korean unicode fonts.
