Upgrading from Mac OS X Leopard to Mac OS X Snow Leopard Developer Preview on my MacBook Pro.
My colleague tested the upgrade on a MacBook Core Duo and it went smoothly.
I’ll see if the upgrade went smoothly on my MacBook Pro Core Duo.
P.S. I ordered another 320GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive for the MacBook Pro. It is still much cheaper than the 500GB 7200RPM notebook hard drive.
Laptop Hard Drive Upgrade February 2, 2009
Posted by very in : Announcement, Apple, Leopard, Mac OS X, MacBook, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentI upgraded my MacBook Pro hard drive to fresh install Mac OS X Leopard along with iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. I opted to get Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache notebook hard drive. I could have gotten a 500GB hard drive, but it is running at 5400RPM and only has 8MB cache.
- Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue 2.5 SATA II 5400 RPM 8MB (WD5000BEVT)
- Western Digital 320GB Scorpio Black 2.5 SATA II 7200 RPM 16MB (WD3200BEKT)
I also need to get an external SATA FireWire/USB/eSATA enclosure or dock for the old hard drive.
- Macally PHR-250CC Hi-Speed FireWire/USB2.0 External Storage Enclosure for 2.5″ SATA HDD
- Thermaltake BlacX eSATA Hard Drive USB Docking Station
My favorite 2.5-inch SATA hard drive enclosure with FireWire is none other than OWC Mercury On-The-Go. It is a little bit pricey, but by-far it has been the best enclosure I ever have.
