Question on macbook (alum) HDD upgrade shmuckerz Jun 27th, 09, 06:53 PM #1 (permalink)
Hi,
ok so i bought the macbook alum couple of months ago, bought the 2.0GHz version so its only a 160GB harddisk, now i would like to upgrade to a 500gb hdd.

Basically anyone know what HDD is best for upgrade?
I know basically any 2.5" hdd should fit.

However what im worried about is battery life decreasing..
The current hdd is 5400rpm, so if i got a 500gb with 7200rpm, would this have a significant or even a minimal reduction to battery life?

and if anyone has any first hand experience could you please share it?

Thanks alot
