Alright so just a random question. I have 2 macbook pros, both 2011 (have to send the one back soon cause it was a replacement for my original)
anyways i checked the specs on both and apparently one macbook has a seagate hard drive and the other has the hitachi hardd drive. they are both 500gb 5400rpm (i know for some of you this is sluggish but its lots of space and fast enough for me).
Im just wondering, is one better than the other in anyway, whether its speed or reliability?
My new replacement macbook pro has the seagate so i will keep that one no matter one but, I was just curious.
NOTE - one thign i found interesting was the safety cut off automactic thing where it stops the hard drive from spinning if the macbook gets suddnely moved around to hard. The hitachi one makes a quick "click" sound. The seagate requires more "force" of a sudden move to the safety kick in, but you hear a more like a quick sqeal sound.
Anyway, your thoughts folks?
UPDATE -- just punched in the model number in google and led me to seagates website for the model. heres what they say:
Momentus 5400.6 SATA 3Gb/s 500-GB Hard Drive
The 500-GB Seagate® Momentus® 5400.6 drive offers the best combination of performance, capacity, mobility and durability in a laptop hard drive to meet the demanding requirements of today’s notebook multimedia usage models.
