Any MBP 2011 with WD Scorpio Black 750GB as OS drive?

[Philflow]

Does anyone have a WD Scorpio Black 750GB (WD7500BPKT) in his/her Macbook Pro 2011 as OS drive?

I'd like to see an Xbench disk result.

Do you feel any vibrations?

Can you hear it?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

I have 2 in RAID 0 and it works fine for me, but there is negligible vibration. It's more noticeable depending on the surface it's on. If you need a 7200 rpm hdd, I say go for it. The fans are louder then the drives.

Thanks for the feedback, what size is your MBP?

Anyone else can show me a Xbench result for the WD Black?

I'm still looking for that WD Black 750GB Xbench screen shot. Anyone?

My guess is the improvement is negligible. If you're really set on speed, perhaps check out a SSD?

The reason I'm asking is not for my own usage but for benchmark purposes.

I'm using the XT 500GB and am happy with it.

By the way, the performance improvement of Scorpio Black over 5400rpm is quite significant. For examples: http://www.laptopmag.com/review/storage/intel-x25-m.aspx?page=6

Thanks I have a 2010 early MBP with stock 500GB 5400 rpm drive. I was looking into this drive for an upgrade. Liked what I saw.
