Worth the trouble of upgrading hdd?

[pj-]

I got a unibody mbp with the standard 5400rpm 250gb hdd. I just bought a 320gb 5400 rpm WD scorpio blue for my ps3, but now I'm thinking of putting it in my laptop. Is it worth the hassle?

I have a 320gb external so I can backup all my osx stuff, but will I be able to back up my bootcamp partition? Will there be any real performance boost, or battery life decrease?

Your going to get 70 extra GB which isnt really a lot, i wouldnt bother, but it is easy to put in. However with an external HD you may as well continue with your original plan and put the 320 in the PS3

You can find out how to fit it at www.IFIXIT.com if you do decide to put it in your MBP
