New Seagate 500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive Question
Hi Everyone,
I bought a new i5 15.4" Macbook Pro on the first day they were available and yesterday I upgraded the hard drive from the stock 320 GB 5400RPM Drive. My question is that with the stock drive I was able to hear the heads park on the drive if the macbook was ever moved suddenly or fast. Since putting the new drive in yesterday and doing a clean install on the drive. Although it is super silent and I don't feel a lot of vibration on that side of the macbook, I never hear the heads park. I also don't or haven't heard any clicks that other users have been experiencing with this drive, or at least not yet anyways.
Is there a way to test to make sure that they are in fact parking?. The Sudden Motion Sensor is enabled in the system profiler. What else can I check out?
The exact model of hard drive I installed was: Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB Model:ST9500420AS
This model doesn't included g-force. As I was told to get the one without it.
I just want to make sure the drive is functioning properly as it should...
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanx
Greg
