That particular drive is an easy decision, Nora, since it won't fit in your MBP.
Most (all?) laptops require 2.5" drives (some smaller) so you should be looking in the "Laptop Drives" section of newegg. I would definitely go with a 7200 RPM drive and nothing slower. There are bigger drives but right now the largest 7200 2.5" is a 750 GB one like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136835 That particular one has a 5-year warrantee, making it an even better deal. If you need more space than that, you can replace your optical drive with another hard drive (or Solid State Drive for much better performance) and get a bunch more space. Carrying the world around on your laptop may be akin to putting all your eggs in one basket, however, so you may just consider a large external drive for the stuff you don't need ALL the time. Which MBP version do you have? j. On Sep 23, 2011, at 12:00 PM, Nora Probasco <[email protected]> wrote: > I have been considering replacing the hard drive in my Macbook Pro for > awhile.
