Recommendations for 750 GB 7200 rpm HDD

I would like to upgrade the  500 GB 7200 rpm HDD on my 2010 MBP to something larger but with the same rpm. Is there a 750 GB drive out there?

  • How efficient is CS5.5 on a 7200 RPM HDD to edit HD footage?

    I presently have two Seagate Cheetah HD -146.8 GB internal 3.5" SAS 15Krpm 16MB in RAID 0. This is the recommended configuration from Adobe to manage uncompressed HD footage.
    If I install the Production Premium on a 7200 RPM HD, would it be the same efficiency as the RAID 0 configuration to edit HD footage?
    I also have an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition/ 3.2 GHz processor, a ASUS P6T DELUXE /OC PALM MOTHERBOARD 1 390.00 390.00 AB Motherboard - ATX - iX58 - LGA1366 Socket - Serial ATA-300, and a Quadro CX Graphics Card NVIDIA PCIE 1.5GB with 24 GB of RAM. I also have a 1 TB 7200 RPM HDD for storage.

    To Mylenium. You're right, it's not about the footage. The Raid 0 configuration at 15000 rpm is for the Adobe Premium CS5.5 64 bit. When you open Premiere, After Effects or Photoshop, it's incredibly fast because of the Mercury Engine. And you can playback HD footage in real-time without rendering. That's what Adobe and most experts recommend. But I was wondering how the Premium CS5.5 performs when installed on a regular 7200 rpm HD.

  • Why no 750 GB @ 7200 rpm option?

    Dear Common Wisdom:
    A question: Why is there no 750 GB @ 7200 rpm option for the 15-inch or 17-inch MBPs?
    Thanks!
    CJ

    Uhh, gossip, my friend, gossip.
    Maybe someone here has heard?

  • 750GB 7200 RPM HDD for dv6t

    What happened to the high performance drives 7200 RPM for the dv6t quad laptops? Should I settle for a 5400 RPM or is the performance difference that significant? Thanks...

    Hi,
    Probably you can not see the differences BUT some improvemets for sure. There are few articles about this but they all out of date. SSD is the way to go but still very expensive. I would go for the bigger HDD & faster RPM.
    Regards.

  • Which is better 7200 RPM HDD or SSD for laptop upgrade to boost rendering times?

    This is my current setup
    RAM: 8GB
    Processor: Intel Core i7-3630QM
    GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 635M - 2GB
    OS: Windows 8.1
    Storage: 1TB 5400 RPM HDD
    I am going to start editing raw footage in premiere pro. I would like to update my laptop to help with rendering times. Tommorow I will be installing 16GB of RAM. Which will be better for storage a 7200rpm HDD or and SDD drive? I am seeing conflicting views on the web. I figured that this will be the best place to ask, since I am upgrading primarily for this program. I appreciate the help.

    No clue what would be conflicting between the two. Both the internal operating speed of data handling and the i/o to the system over any sustained period of time are so vastly higher for a modern and large-ish SSD compared to any HDD that it is a total no-brainer. In fact, on the tweaker's page, they point out that for a really monster system, set up RAID's of multiple SSD's. Lacking that, RAID's of four or five linked fast LARGE HDD's which will be noticeably slower than the SSD option but typically better than single HDD's, even using one for each part of the process.
    For both the processing of data to present a view on the monitor during editing and during rendering, it's not the "burst" speed numbers that count ... it's the sustained long-term data transfer counts that matter. Which are different from what many think they are ...

  • Is 7200 RPM HDD a problem for the MAc Mini?

    I need to replace my Mac-mini HDD. I purchased a Travelstar 500Gb Drive.
    It is 7200 RPM.
    Will I have any problems? I understand most mac mini 2.26Ghz HDDs are 5200 RPMs.

    I put one of those into my 2010 Mac Mini almost a year ago and it kicks butt on the 5400 RPM HDD.

  • Dead hard drive: 7200 RPM HDD compatible with a L500-19X Satellite?

    Last night, i believe the HDD of my 2 and a half year old L500-19X Satellite died.  When I tried to boot, it hung up on the windows icon, and when I try rebooting, it asks me if I want to try some kind of boot recovery function...but when I go to that, it hangs up with only the background displayed. So there seems no way to access the Windows recover functions saved on the hard drive.  I do not have an external HDD case, so I can't really tell if the HDD is turning or not.
    I bought a new HDD - it is a 500 GB 7200 RPM Seagate.  I used the Toshiba recovery disks, however, once the laptop uploaded all the data and tried to boot, it would always hang up, saying that it cannot complete windows installation, and I should try rebooting...which only results in it hanging again.  Desperate to have a functional computer, I also tried installing Ubuntu, but the Ubuntu installation also failed after a few minutes, giving me an error message saying the HDD is probably bad or the laser of the CD drive dirty (it appears to be clean).
    My question is: could the problem be that I am using a 7200 RPM drive?  I checked the specs of the original drive, and it is only 5400 RPM.  Or is the new HDD probably defective? 
    If anyone can think of anything else that would cause this problem, I would appreciate any tips you can give me!  I am *pretty* sure that the motherboard and the rest of the hardware are sound, since it seemed to operate fine when reading the backup DVDs and the Ubuntu DVD - it only had problems when trying to access the HDD.
    Thanks!!

    I thought it might use the advanced-format technology. But that's apparently not the case.

  • Does 7200 Rpm HDD's work on the new MacBook?

    Hi, I was wondering does 7200 rpm harddrives work on the new MB?
    Such like this one:
    HDD Scorpio/320GB 2.5" SATA 7200rpm 16MB

    You don't have to install OSX on the new hard drive if you have an external enclosure to put he new hard drive in. I used Carbon Copy Cloner to mirror my internal 60GB to the 200GB external and then swapped the drives out. The reason Apple doesn't offer the 7200rpm drives in the MacBook is to differentiate product lines. Nothing more. Some drives are thicker than others though. I'm not sure if the new MacBook has the same or more internal space for a replacement drive.

  • 7200 rpm HDD on 13" MBP

    Can I upgrade the HDD in the 2012 13" MBP to 750GB 7200 rpm to improve performance?

    As it stands, the user manual is not available online on Apple's website.  http://www.ifixit.com/ and http://www.macsales.com/ are good places to look for upgrade instructions, if for some reason your manual is missing.

  • Question for folks using 7200 rpm drives

    Hi, for anyone here using a 7200 RPM drive in their macbook, can you post your experience regarding vibration felt on the palmrest and also what brand drive you have.
    I just installed a WD Scorpio Black (320GB 7200) and it produces enough vibration on the palmrest to be annoying. The stock Fujitsu produces absolutely none. I am going to return the WD and either get a different brand, or get a 5400 RPM.
    Thanks for any feedback.

    Hitachi Travelstar 7K200 200GB. I've had it since last January. Never a noticeable vibration, although the sound of the bearings/platters spinning seems to have increased recently. I don't find that unusual since that's typical for any hard drive.
    The hard drives don't typically produce noticeable vibration unless they're loose. Have you checked to see that it's secure in the drive bay? I've heard that sometimes the little shock-absorbing "bumpers rails" in there can get dislodged in the installation process.

  • 7200 rpm HDD Choice

    Hi, I recently puchased a PB G4 12 1.5Ghz, and I am thinking of upgrading the HDD from the current 80GB to a 100GB RPM.
    My question: Does the Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 fit my powerbook?
    if it fits, is this HDD a reliable one? or if there are any better alternatives that you would recommend?
    Thanks a lot for any helps
    regards

    OWC has a good selection of drive that fit PBs at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ Look down the left side of the page, as arnie mentioned, your PB can't use an SATA drive, which are used in Apple's Intel-based machines. OWC ships internationally, however, you can probably find your choice of drive locally in UK, too.
    If warranty coverage is a consideration, Seagate drives offer a 5 year warranty, and most others offer a 3 year warranty.
    As mentioned, regular backup is essential. Some take the working drives out of their notebooks, and put them into an external enclosure when they upgrade their hard drives, and use it for backup.
    If you scan these discussions, you'll find several who have the Hitatchi 7200rpm drives and seem pleased with them.

  • How to upgrade to 7200 rpm hdd on hp dv7 6c43cl win7?

    I just bought a 750gb 7200rpm WD scorpio black HDD to upgrade from the 5400rpm hdd that's in the laptop now.  I have the recovery CD's for my laptop. I want to be sure I do the installation right and I am wondering if installation of a higher speed drive is a problem on my laptop. (Heat generation?) Will the recovery disks still work for the installation of the original win7on the new, faster hard drive?  Anything else I should know prior to install?  I am also upgrading from 8gbto 16gb RAM.  Thank you, Anne

    There shouldn't be any problems. You should be able to use the recovery cd's to set up Win 7 on the new HDD. The 7200rpm HDD might use a bit more power and generate slightly more heat than the 5400rpm HDD, but I doubt you'll notice the difference. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

  • Can I replace the 5400 RPM drive with a seagate 7200 RPM drive in a Lenovo B570

    Hi there,
    I have a Lenovo B570-1068AFU system that comes with a 5400 RPM HDD.  Does this system suppor 7200 RPM HDD upgrades? I would like to replace the current 5400 RPM with a segate 7200 RPM.  Possible?
    Thank you for all your replies.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To add a little to what Tanuj said, you may have a (fixable) issue when moving to the new drive.
    Depending on when your laptop was built it may have a legacy (512-byte sector) or Advanced Format (4k-byte sector) hard drive.  Many/most larger drives on the market are AF.   If you migrate from legacy to AF, you may notice that Windows Update has stopped working.  Windows 7 is supposed to handle AF drives correctly, but there are many cases where it doesn't until updated, or an additional driver is installed.  The situation is worse with XP, but also fixable.
    You may well not have any problems with this, but if you do I have some notes and links to fixes over here:

  • 7200 rpm in 13" macbook pro?

    Just looking for some input if anyone has had experience with putting a 7200 rpm HDD in their 13" macbook pro? OWC offers a 750GB 7200RPM Seagate Momentus, http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Seagate/ST9750420AS/
    This drive comes up as a compatible upgraded for my machine.... but for some reason Apple doesn't offer a 7200 RPM option for this size, so I'm a little concerned about the potential for added noise / heat ... Anybody out there try this and notice any extra noise or heat from the faster spinning drive ?

    I upgraded with a 7200 rpm drive from OWC also, in my case Hitachi 500g. The drive actually makes less noise than the Toshiba I removed. The new drive really makes the MacBookPro feel much more responsive. It runs no hotter than the original drive, nor is there any noticeable vibration. As Summer66 I bought OWC's kit enclosure deal and am using the original drive in an external case as a bootable backup with CCC, which is included in the OWC deal. OWC even has an installation video (although at this time it's for the 2010 model, the two machines seem to be identical in terms of installation.) Went so well I'm thinking of putting one in my 2009 MBP. Good luck.

  • Swap 5900 RPM HDD for 7200 RPM OS/Programs?

    This is my hard drive arsenal for HD editing in Premiere
    Internal Hard Drive 1: 2TB Seagate Barracuda Green, ST2000DL003-9VT166, 64MB Cache, 5900 RPM,     ATA/ATAPI-8, Stores-Operating System and Programs
    Internal Hard Drive 2: 2TB Seagate Barracuda, ST2000DM001-1CHI64, 64MB Cache, 7200 RPM, ATA/ATAPI-8, New just installed and empty.
    Internal Hard Drive 3: 1TB Seagate Barracuda, ST1000DM003 SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache, New not installed.
    Internal Hard Drive 4: 1TB Seagate Barracuda, ST1000DM003 SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache, New not installed.
    How would you configure these in a four drive setup? Should I change out the 5900 RPM operating system and programs with one of the 7200 RPM?

    I would make drive 3 or 4 system and programs disc and then make disc 1 to store renders or backup of projects etc.
