MacBook Hard Disk Upgrade EFI Clicking Problems

[DanielCalladine]

Hello,

Has anyone had any luck with upgrading the current 2010 MacBook's hard disk?

If so which drive did you use?

I've just upgraded using a wdc5000bevt scorpio blue and it seems to be giving me these EFI related problems (constantly parking the heads)

Has anyone successfully tried the Samsung hm641ji drive?

Thanks, Daniel

Thanks for that, I bought the Samsung drive and its been working perfectly, it must have been just a Western Digital problem after all

I had that problem, you must disable the sleep timer on the hdd. Kinda sucks, I too have an western digital hdd with sleep timer disabled on my netbook and it still clicks like crazy😡 So your YMMV.

But since you solved the problem great😀
