Hello

On the new MBP, how do you change out the hard drive for a different hard drive and how do you install OSX
onto the new hard drive?
 
Like ^^^ said.

Just install the new drive, then reinstall from the OS X Install Discs.
 
WOW! I didn't know 2.5" 10k drives even existed... But so far, everybody's only been testing 7k drives
 
an SSD would be the best upgrade for the buck but you will pay a premium for the speedy ssd's such as intels offerings.

Seeing as how 7200RPM drives make the MacBook's vibrate (not sure about the Pro's but I'm sure it's the same thing because the build is the same), the 10000RPM would probably make the computer have a heart attack.
 
Or it might give us a good massage to ease our finger fatigue when typing long papers and the like:D

if you're getting vibrations, that probably has more to do with a specific frequency related to that specific laptop, probably exciting one of the body's resonant frequencies. If that is the case, that blows that 7200rpm happens to line up with a natural frequency of the Macbook, but there's no reason to think a laptop of a completely different size would have the same natural frequency, and there's also no reason to think that 10000 rpm would also excite a different frequency. Just picture your washing machine as it accelerates, it probably gets to one speed where it starts shaking like mad, but then gets passed that speed and holds pretty steady while it spins really fast.
