Which internal harddrive for Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo?
Processor 065-6991 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 065-6993 4GB 667 DDR2 SDRAM - 2x2GB
Hard Drive 065-7223 250GB Serial ATA Drive @ 4200
I'd like to get a least a 500 GB drive. My questions revolve around which brand would be best? Should I get a 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm? I see that Seagate has a 500GB Seagate Momentus XT 2.5" SATA 7200RPM/SSD Hybrid Drive which has 4GB SLC NAND solid state memory. Description states Best-Fit Applications are High-end laptops and workstations. Would this Macbook Pro qualify as high-end? Would she see any performance benefits with this drive?
The RAM is maxed out for this laptop. The computer really needs to last at least 1 more year. What is our best option?
G5 and MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
