I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2010) I bought the 256gb hard drive model, as it was the one that was in my budget at the time. I absolutely love it, however after playing on my cousins brand new MacPro I am considering upgrading my memory.
I was thinking about a 500-1tb Sata hard drive and upgrading the memory to 8gb.
Do you think that this will make the Mac quicker (snappier), and will it help with the encoding of movies? I do a lot of movie making/copying.
Do you have any recommendations for hard drives?
I have read a lot of reviews and have done a ton of research on different drives. I am not sure if the 7200RPM will cause a lot more vibration and noise or should I just stick with the 5600? I use the Mac on a daily basis, so noise and heat need to be at a minimum.
Just basically need someone to give me some recommendations as I am in a sea of drives and need some direction.
Thanks fellow Mac'ers
