Generally I avoid OS upgrade but this time I am giving it a try in a production machine.

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.

I 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.

I also need to get an external SATA FireWire/USB/eSATA enclosure or dock for the old hard drive.

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.
