Hi.
My mac can not recognise its hard disk drive. I want to buy a new one. But I am not sure if it can support 320G hdd.
My model is Macbook Mid 2007 with tiger preinstalled. Its original hdd is 80G.

core 2 duo 2.0
boost to 2g memory
GMA 950 display card

the apple technical support said the capacity should be limited to 200G but without giving me a reason?
please give a comment.
 
Current offerings go up to 500GB. I have a 320GB in mine (Aluminum) but it used to be in my other one (First Gen/Core Duo). It works great in either one. -GDF
 
Thanks for your reply.
Can 7200 RPM works? Whether it would make my macbook hot enough to burn eggs?
 
Yes, 7200rpm will work fine, but it will run the battery down quite a bit quicker. Not sure about the heat, but in my old Macbook I never noticed a difference as the white ones tend to run hot anyway.
 
Damn with the thread title i thought the OP ment if the MacBook will support 320 times its own weight on G force 😀
 
eventually, i bought the hitachi 7k320 7200rpm 320g.
quiet and not too hot.
damn good.
hope that helps others to make a decision.
 
Problem when upgrade to 320GB

Hi, my macbook seems same as your.

And I brought a Seagate 320G , 7200 RPM hard disk.
The hard disk is working prefect as a USB hard disk.

After I put it in my macbook, whatever I do, my mac just cannot recognize the
hard disk, no matter Disk Utility or System profile.
And I tried another 250GB 5400 RPM one is also working.

Could you tell me what I can do ?
