Hi,
I've been trying to find an answer to this for a couple of hours, but still no luck.
First of all, I'm looking for a new HDD for my MacBook (Late 2008 13" Aluminum model). I was thinking of picking up a WD 1TB Scorpio Blue. Some people on forums have said it doesn't fit their enclosure, some have said it does. Do I risk going for this HDD or get a 750GB Scorpio Black?
The Scorpio Black drive's are only made in 7200RPM models, and this will apparently be very loud in my MB, anyone got any experience of this?
Also, I saw mentioned on another forum that any HDD over 700GB will run slowly because of certain Intel chipsets, and I'll need to download a lot of new drivers. Any truth in this?
I'm also open to new suggestions about drives, preferably towards the higher end of the storage spectrum.
Regards,
Michael
