I want to upgrade my iMac 350 slot loader to OS-X and figure to need a larger hard disc than the current 6GB. I would like to install a 80G Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (because I have a friend who bought one that he ended up not using and now it is mine). BUT this Maxtor runs at 7200 rpm and I have heard that might be too fast for fanless iMacs?
What does anybody know about this issue? YES, I could play it safe and buy a 5400 rpm hard disc, but I have this disc, it is brand spanking new, and 7200 rpm discs are faster, which should help with OS-X. So, is 7200 rpm really too hot for an old iMac? Can anybody tell me? -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
