Macbook Pro 7200rpm drive model name/number?

[sejanus]

Hi,

The 100gb 7200rpm drive in my macpro has failed. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the name/model number of it - I'm assuming it's a seagate of some sort.

The reason is I might have to just skip the warranty and buy another one and install it myself - i can't afford to be without it for long - last time i sent a powerbook to apple it took them 3 weeks.

I don't have a small enough screwdriver to open up the macbook though to see it myself I'll get one on monday.

cheers

Mine has a Seagate ST910021AS in it. The Hitachi 7200 RPM notebook drives benchmark slightly faster, though, if you want the fastest...

If you go and replace it ourself you could possibly void your warranty, making future repairs by apple impossible. I advise that you have an authorized apple service provider do it for you rather than risking the future warranty of the machine.
