Hi,
I'm looking to upgrade my HD for my macbook. External lacks a bit of portability, but as long as its bus powered, it's fine. Internal would be great, but I have a few questions..
With an internal HD:
1. Will my MB have less battery time?
2. Will my MB run hotter?
3. Will it be louder?
With an external HD:
1. I'm sure I'll have less battery time, but, is the battery time comparable to having a 7200 rpm 320GB internal HD?
2. What do you recommend?
I'd go straight for the internal HD, but I already feel the battery life is somewhat short even with the stock HD it came with. With an external HD, I could unplug when I'm not using it.
