Whish HDD to upgrade to?

Hi,
I have a year old MBP (see below for full model description) and would like to upgrade the HDD. I'm thinking of putting one the following 500GB drives from Other World Computing:
500GB Samsung 5400RPM SpinPoint M6 9.5mm 2.5" SATA HD 8MB Cache
500GB Hitachi 5400RPM Travelstar 5K500 2.5" SATA HD
I would like to hear from anybody that has done such a thing. How's the system performing with the new HDD? Any heating issues? How's the battery? How long have you been running on the new HDD? Any other issues?
I read some posts online from people speculating about potential issues of upgrading, but I would like to hear from people who actually did it (ideally with the same MBP model I have)
Also, which one of those two HDDs would you recommend?
Thank you very much,
Alex
My MPB:
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz

I own a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (late 2006) that I upgraded from 120GB to 250GB and it runs fine. No heating issues and performance is as good as ever.
I personally would go the Hitachi drive. I've had a bad history with Samsung products in general and avoid them like the plague. I've had Samsung TV's blow up and mobile phones break. Also, not that it's relevant, my brother works with a construction company that had a Samsung excavator catch on fire one night. It was most likely arson, but I'm not convinced. :P

  • How do I move my data from internal HDD to ext. HDD to upgrade internal?

    Hello,
    I just got a 500GB internal HDD to upgrade my 120GB internal one right now. I also purchased a TB external HD to use for back ups.
    My question is this: What is the easiest way to back up/move my entire 120GB internal HDD data to the TB external, install the new 500GB internal, then move everything back to my new 500GB internal?
    I already know how to do the hardware stuff. I just need to know how to use the software. (Time Machine?? Migration Assistant? ) I would rather NOT have to purchase additional software.
    Thanks for your help.

    The first time that I upgraded my hard drive I used [These Instructions|http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130] and it worked very well. I used the free/trial version of SuperDuper! but you can use Carbon Copy Cloner as posted above also.

  • Can't use my old HDD after upgrading with new one,old is GPT protected

    Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you in advance!
    Recently I upgraded my old HDD on my MacBookPro. I made a clone of the old disk, installed the new one in the MBP and putted the old one in external enclosure. Now I'm trying to use the old disk with the enclosure, but it doesn't appear in Finder, it appears in Disk Tools, but I can not perform any actions on it. I tried to erase it, but with no success! The old disk is GPT protected and I don't know what to do. Tried to erase it with Windows and Linux with no success neither. I know the enclosure works because it recognize every other disk, but my old one is untouchable to my Mac OS! I'm looking for possible ideas on how to make my old HDD usable with the enclosure?

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/

    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • HDD/RAM upgrade question - 400 mhz sawtooth

    Hello!
    My Sister has a Sawtooth G4 - Well, I believe it's a sawtooth anyway. I don't know for sure, so I'll post a bunch of specs:
    It's a 400mhz model, early 2000. It shipped with a 10GB HDD, and 128 RAM. I believe it also has a 100 Mbps Ethernet. It has a DVI and VGA monitor video card, but i'm not sure the Video RAM level. It has an internal FW 400 port as well. The internal Airport card is shot - er, maybe the extension.
    It has major issues with the system - and it seems to stem from a botched OS 9.2 install. It's running 9.1, but with trouble. For one, I can't open the extension manager. For two, it's slow, and acts funny.
    Well, I thought i'd be nice, and try to get the G4 working for my Sister. It seems that it may require an Clean install of OS 9.0. Oh well, I can do that easily enough. However, before I go through all that trouble, I'm contemplating upgrading the hard drive (at least). With only 10GB, it's not very useful for iTunes, Photoshop, or our old OS 9 games - things she'd like to have.
    I looked at the specs for the Mac at:
    http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/g4saw.shtml
    It takes an 3.5 inch Ultra ATA drive? I've seen those around - and a 60GB drive or so is becoming pretty cheap. (I've seen 80G for under $50) I just figured i'd ask if anyone has tips on what to buy, how to install it, and Particularly if I need any special adapters for the G4. It does have a slot for a second internal HDD. I've also heard that a fast, second internal HDD can overheat the computer - is this a common issue I should be worried about?
    The same questions go for the RAM. I'd like to add at least an extra 128MB, but I'm not entirely sure what to get. The above site mentions that it uses PC100 SDRAM in DIMM mode? Hmmm... I'll have to look around.
    Please excuse any silly questions, I'm just far more familiar with more current systems, and it's 1 AM
    Thanks,
    Dan
    PS: It looks to have a slot for a floppy drive under the DVD-ROM drive. I have a bunch of files on our OLD PowerBook 5300 that i'd like to move - but I need a floppy drive. Our old external USB floppy drive is.... very dead. The external floppy drives i've seen at stores seem to be pretty expensive, but internal drives are still fairly cheap (some under $30). How hard would it be to find/buy/install a compatible floppy drive? What format would it need to be? If such an upgrade runs over the $40-50 that a new USB drive costs, it's not really worth it.
    15" Powerbook G4 (May 2005 ed), iMac DV (9.2.2)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1G Ram, 192 (iMac)

    Wow, thanks again!
    I figured out that this is the AGP graphics Sawtooth - not the Yikes model. Where do these names come from?
    As per upgrading to OS X - we have a G5 which she can use, and a XP box - which is down with the flu for the third (or fourth?) time. Therefore, the G4 will stay OS 9. She just wants to have a reliable machine that can play DVDs and music, and play some of our old OS 9 games. It's not intended to run any new programs, just the old ones that she can't run now. When I mentioned photoshop - it's a "Limited edition" of version 5.0 - and it's far, far, FAR more reliable on the G4 than on our 2-year-old XP box, despite the G4 running 9.1 with a wimpy 128 meg ram!
    The main reason for upgrading the HDD was to make it more practical for games and MP3s - via iTunes 2! It won't play AAC, but it plays MP3s fine. She has at least 8 Gig of music - too much for a 10G drive! (Even half of it leaves precious little expansion room)
    I'm watching for a "small" HDD - it seems that our local Fry's is no longer selling anything smaller than 100G - which was $100! Or perhaps they were just sold out at the time. I'll keep an eye out for another sale. In fact, asking my friend for an old drive is a good idea. They have parts from at least a dozen old windows and linux boxes floating around - so they likely have a drive or two. If it's a used HDD, loaded with Windows (probably 95-2000), will it confuse the system before re-formatting?
    As per RAM:
    I'm quite aware of the lack of RAM. However, I'll have to watch for sales! I'm not aware of any "Mom and Pop" stores close by, although that's a fantastic idea. A PC 133 128 MB card runs $40-50 at the local computer stores, but only $15 at OWC! Therefore, if I don't find suitable RAM locally, I'll order some. I wouldn't mind an extra 256 (or 512) for my iMac either.
    Speaking of iMac - I've determined that it's the iMac DV Special ED from March 2000. (400mhz, originally 13 Gig Drive - now 60, 9.2.2) The question is whether or not it maxes out at 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM. One of the Apple support sites I found ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58007 ) said that the slot loading iMacs max out at 512. It makes no distinction between any slot loading iMac. However at http://www.lowendmac.com/imacs/dvse.shtml, it mentions that this model specifically can accept 1 gig of RAM. I'll assume that the Apple article is correct, but I'd love to get a full 650 MB if I can! (I'd love to add a 512 to the 128 I have now)
    It's amazing, really - after 4 years of constant use, a hard drive motor failure (hence the 60G HDD), and a year and a half burried on a desk, the iMac is becoming more handy by the day. It's good at capturing the Video and audio from say, Halo, while my PB's too busy to run anything else (via S-Video and audio through our DV cam). It makes a great DVD player, an iTunes Jukebox, and game machine - most of my games are still OS 9. To top it off, it makes a great wireless base-station for my Nintendo DS at school, where there's no WiFi! With 30 gig of space left on the HDD, it has plenty of room for whatever I want to do with it. Guess you can "teach and old dog new tricks!'
    Well, I guess this means my question is answered for now - once I find the things I need, i may have some more questions, Thanks again!

  • Which HDD to upgrade Thinkpad T30 after a HDD crash

    Hi everybody,
    I left my laptop to a friend that decided to make a defrag to the HDD.
    Unfortunately for me HDD's arm broke during the defrag (reorganizing the disc). It happens sometimes especially if the HDD is old.
    Mine was a IC25N040ATCS04-0 (40 Go, 4200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100) from 2002.
    I'd like to change it for an upgraded one. But I am not sure which one I can put in it?
    I will have to re-install all the laptop software, bios included???
    Anyway, I've seen that you can install HDD over 100 Go capacity, is it easy, whiche ones to you advices.
    Is there tips and tricks better to know before doing any change.
    My computer is still working a bit if something is needed to be checked.
    Thanks in advance for any help you could give.
    Best regards.
    Vincent
    Ps: Please excuse my bad english, I did not practice for ages.

    Hi ever23,
    It supports:- 
    PATA or ATA-6 2.5 inch form factor drive
    12.5 mm for systems without the touch pad
    9.5mm for systems with the touch pad
    2.5 inch form factor

    The following drives it supports:- http://computers.shop.ebay.com/Hard-Drives-/158830/i.html?_nkw=t30+drive&_catref=1&_dmpt=PCC_Drives_...
    Software, yes, you would need to install. BIOS, no you don't but perhaps you would need to upgrade it nonetheless.
    Hope it helps.

  • Excessive beach balling after hdd/software upgrade

    I am running a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, with 8GB of RAM on OS X 10.6.8. I recently woke up my mac with a dead hard drive so I had to replace it and start from scratch because I had no backup (I KNOW, I KNOW, ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP!). So I took the opportunity to upgrade to a SSD and found a deal on an Intel 180 GB. While waiting for the new hard drive, I installed the OS on my external hard drive to have the ability to use my computer. During this time, I took the liberty of upgrading to OS X Lion. This is when the problem started, frequent hangs and beachballing. I thought the external connection may just be a bit too slow for the new Lion OS, so I dealt.
    When the SSD arrived, I swapped the drives. The original hard drive cable couldn't read the drive, so I ordered a new one from China taking a chance. The cable worked, but beachballing started, and it happened no matter the application: iTunes; Safari; Pages; etc. I ordered another cable stamped from the Apple company to be sure. Still beachballed.
    From here I got the feeling the problem was Lion, (which shouldn't have been the case either way, I have sufficient hardware), so I downgraded back to Snow Leopard and as you can see, here I am, same problem on Snow Leopard.
    What can I do to fix this? I've verified, reverified, and fixed and refixed permissions (this helped only a little). I have plenty of space on my hard drive so I know that's not the cause.
    Any help please!
    I use my computer everyday for school and it's stressing me out!

    Do these speeds seem a bit slow?
    I've come to believe it actually is a hardware issue. Just hard to believe this much trouble could be coming from a solid state drive.

  • Replacing HDD after upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard

    My MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard and the disk. Then I upgraded to Lion via the App Store. then my Hard Drive crashed and I replaced it. After running my Time Machine Backup no Apps would work all saying my OS X wasn't up to date, and I couldnt Update the OS. Now Ive reinstalled OS X from the disk again and started as a new. Ive updated every App in the computer but cant get my OS to update to Lion. In the App store it says I have to purchase Lion again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all

    Did you make the Time Machine backup in OS X Lion or Mac OS X Snow Leopard? If you made a Time Machine backup in OS X Lion and you restored it in Mac OS X Snow Leopard, all applications weren't working because they were designed for Lion.
    Now that you have reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard, open the App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download OS X Lion. If you don't see Lion, check that it's hidden > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    If you did the Time Machine backup in Lion, a different option is to start up from the Time Machine drive by holding the Alt key while your Mac is starting and selecting it. Then, select the option to restore the Time Machine backup and follow the steps

  • Whats the speed of the 100GB Hdd Option upgrade

    Hello
    Im looking getting a second mini & passing my one onto a pest "family member". The apple site had the option of a 100G hdd. What would the speed of this drive be.

    "If the system were being used for video (as an example) then rotational speed of the drive is barely relevent to system performance as long as the drive is capable of sustaining the necessary data stream (a 4200rpm drive can typically manage 30fps DV)."
    Maybe in iMovie, but ask any FCP user, and they will say 7200 makes all the difference in the world. I have only a 700 MHz processor, and that has nothing to do with whether or not I can capture and output video. However, if my drive has a bump in it, all **** breaks loose. The only time I ever wish for a faster processor is when I start a render... and then I go to bed.
    But try scrubbing video on a 4200 RPM drive. Then try a 5400, then a 7200, the a couple of 7200s in a RAID. Then three, then four, then five...
    Rotation speed makes a HUGE difference in video. Most of my time is spent editing, scrubbing, audio scanning and doing things that really work the drives. Bay 3 at work feels a heck of a lot slower to me than Bay 1 or 2. Bay 3 has two 7200 RPM drives in a RAID, and Bays 1 and 2 each have a set of 5 drives in a RAID. Yet Bay 3 has the fastest processor in our building.

  • Deleted data on external HDD after upgrading to Mavericks

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Mac Mini 2011 with Lion Montain and two external drives, one 500GB and the other is a 4TB WD mybook, both Firewire.
    I have updated the system at Mavericks, everything went ok all the disks were visible and everything worked perfectly.
    I regularly off the MAC (the firewire drives go out on their own), the next day when I restarted the MAC I was surprised to see both disks completely EMPTY, as if they were formatted.
    I made a disc scan with Data Rescue 3, the data are present and recoverable but are clearly reconstruct the entire folder structure with a huge job.
    Do you know what happened and if there is an alternative solution to recover data?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

  • A Good 500gb HDD to upgrade this MacBook?

    Hello everyone,
    Would you recommend me a good 500 gb hard drive for this type of MacBook please? I've been reading about some issue regarding compatibility between sudden motion sensor and the hard drive. So I'm worried that if I just randomly bought a hard drive, it may not work well with my MacBook.
    Thank you

    Thank you for a quick reply. I just to confirm this before I make decision on buying it.
    So although WD hard drive has the "WD's ShockGuard™," it would not conflict with MacBook SMS, right?
    ShockGuard doesn't appear to be well defined as to what it actually is. I've seen marketing materials that call it an "instantaneous protection" scheme as well as claims that it's some sort of mechanical robustness scheme. They mention SecurePark, which means they park the heads off the platters when spinning up/down or turning off.
    The kinds of anti-shock mechanisms where the drive parks the heads itself as a reaction to shocks can cause SMS to go batty. I think it's because SMS thinks it has restored control while the drive hasn't returned to service. People have reported beachballs and kernel panics. It's easy enough to turn off SMS and let the drive's own mechanism work.

  • Question about HDD upgrade on Satellite M40X-184?

    Hello
    I want to ask if there is an option to insert a new hdd in my toshiba. As far as I know there is no official support for this??
    There is an access to the place where the disk is placed on the side of notebook. S
    o my question is
    1. is it possible to place a new disk (faster and bigger)
    2. is it possible without loosing warranty
    3. what disks do you suggest
    Thanks Szczepaan

    Hello Hinni
    Unfortunately there is no public document about that and those information has Toshiba service partner or some independent PC and notebook service specialized for upgrade.
    I can just tell you that Toshiba directly dont support hardware upgrade and I have noticed that hardware upgrade is cuts into three areas:
    - user upgrade (memory)
    - dealer upgrade (HDD)
    - service upgrade (WLAN card, BT module)
    If you want to exchange the HDD alone take old out and notice all data on the sticker and talk with your local dealer if you want to buy the same but with more capacity. You can test new one and if there is some problem (not recognized by system) you can send it back any time.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks. Now External HDD Enclosure Won't Mount. Is there a fix?

    Upgraded to Mavericks.  Now I can't get my external HDD enclosure to mount.  A little about this enclosure, as it's not the usual settup .  I have four 3TB HDDs in a RAID5 settup.  The most unique part is that they are formatted as a Windows NT Filesystem (Tuxera NTFS).  Basically, when I set this up, I had to get a lot of info from a Windows-formatted HDD, but also be able to read/write afterwards. It's worked fine for ~ 1 year, but now that I've upgraded to Mavericks, nothing will mount.  I ran Disk Utility, where I see the HDDs (I've partitioned them into four drives of varying sizes), but they are greyed out.  I tried to mount them, but it says it won't and that I should run First Aid.  So I did...tried to "Repair Disk," but it just gets stuck on "Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."  For over an hour it's been on that message.
    So, does anybody out there have a fix?  I've read several similar posts about people having a hard time mounting and, overall, dealing with external HDDs after upgrading to Mavericks.  But nothing seemed to fit my exact circumstances.  Lastly, I should mention that I've used both Firewire and USB connections.  Both resulted in the same.
    Thanks.

    I can't help with specifics for your issue, but some general thoughts:
    The upgrade and the disk problem may be a coincidence. It would help you if you could verify that the drive still works fine on a windows machine. If you run a windows virtual machine or have a windows pc, or a friend does, verify full functioning that way. If it still won't mount on the mac, try to copy/backup it's data onto the windows machine (maybe another external drive connected to it. You could then scrub the disk in windows, leave it unpartitioned, unformatted. Connect it back to the mac and format it as HFS+ (Mac extended journalled) and transfer the data back to it by sharing the windows machine external drive and connecting the two machines with a network cable.

  • Installing new HDD after Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade on my T400

    A few weeks ago I did a clean install to upgrade my T400 laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7 Professional, using the upgrade version of Windows 7 (vs. the complete new installation version - saved about $100.00).
    Now I want to upgrade my HDD from 250GB to 500GB. I purchased the HDD from Lenovo, expecting the drive to come with some guidance for the upgrade other than how to physically replace the drive. Unfortunately, no such help found.
    I have researched this and I think I have a few options. I could 1) clone my current hard drive or 2) do a clean reinstall on the new drive.
    While looking over Microsoft's knowledge base I came a cross an article that said that I couldn't use the Windows 7 upgrade disk on a new hard drive. The article said I would first have to recover the original Windows XP OS onto my laptop, and then use the upgrade disk. Is that right? Do I really have to start over (upgrading to Windows 7 was a bear)?
    If I clone my hard drive (I have the necessary hardware & software) will the upgraded Windows 7 be operable on the new hard drive?
    I'd appreciate any help or suggestions.

    You should be fine with cloning the drive. Microsoft normally limits the "upgrade" to only installing over an already existing Windows or a drive with Windows on it. So yes, it is not going to install on a bare drive for you.
    As long as the clone aligns the partition properly, if necessary, then the cloned drive should operate fine. I cloned my initial HDD when upgrading to an SSD. Windows might require you to re-verify the machine because of the hardware change. However, changing only one component is not supposed to trigger the verification process. Once you know that it is working properly, you Windows license probably requires you to delete it from the old drive.

             the Source entry field.
         6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • 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.
