Recommendation for replacement MacBook Pro internal drive

[stephentayler]

I need to replace the internal drive on my MBP.

Any recommendations? I am looking at the Seagate Momentus.

Also, anybody tried to replace the drive yourself, and is it fairly straightforward? I did a swap in a Tibook last year and that was quite easy, but I read the MBP is a little more fiddly........

Any suggestions would be really helpful, thanks

kind regards

BTW don't, as I did, accidentally drop a magnet on your laptop..... the internal drive stopped working instantly...well, it was a silly accident, all I can say is thank goodness for Time Machine!

I don't have recommendations for a replacement unit but the actual replacement is dead easy on the "Late '08" models:

1) pull the batter cover
2) remove the battery
3) remove one screw
4) remove hard-drive

Seagate 7200rpm 320 Go is fine on my Macbook.
BTW totally silent.

OWC is a good site to check out, they have videos for various Mac DUY replacement stuff.
Sell hard drives also. Don't know about sound levels. They can be reached by phone
fairly easily so you could ask them about that.
