Hi people.
I know there is properly a billion threads already like this but i really need a qualifyed opinion.
I have a 15" macBook Pro from mid 2009. (model A1286)
I want to upgrade the RAM (from 4gb to 8gb) and the hard drive (currently it has a 320gb)
The RAM is straight forward, but i'm struggling to find the right HDD.
SSD is not really a part of my considerations since it's too expensive. And i'm horrible at managing space.
I have looked at the WD Blue WD10JPVT 1 TB. And at the Seagate Momentus XT 750 GB.
Originally I was looking for a 5400rpm drive since i really don't want any more noise than I have now. (it's nice and quiet currently ).
So what should I look for in a hard drive? Anything would be an upgrade since my current drive is almost full and very slow (27 MB/s write, 25 MB/s read).
So do you have any good recommendations. On specific drives or what to look for.
Anything is much appreciated.
