Well, if the sata chipset is not sata 2, then u ll have to run the hdd at sata 1 transfer speed of 1.5ghz, instead of 3ghz...
However, u can still enjoy better performance becos the new 7200rpm hdd come with 16mb of cache compared to 8mb in the older hdd...
Also, i understand that u might need to change the jumper setting on the hdd to downgrade the transfer speed to 1.5ghz...
In addition, u will void the warranty if u open up the notebook chassis during the warranty period...
But macbook owners should not worry too much becos upgrading of hdd on macbook is a lot easier than macbook pro. If there is a need u just put back the old hdd...
