Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB Hybrid Hard Drive Boot up Time

[trzester]

Which firmware do You have? SD25? Apple->This Mac->more info-> Serial ATA from the list, and there it is.

The benchmarking from some reputable review sites all found that Momentus XT has higher power consumption that the usual 7200rpm. I surprised you haven't noticed decrease in battery life.

why does it seem so noisy???? does the drive make a lot of noise?

[SevenDedlySINs1]

that poor drive must be crying i that mac!

the really impressive thing isn't really the boot time but the opening speed of all of those applcations! i have to wait one minute if i want to open itunes in a smooth way (without spinning wheel). i will buy this hard drive too next week for my MacBook Pro wich is the same as your but with normal screen :D

have you noticed any noise or vibration over the old drive? (i read a lot about the noise & annoying vibration out of this drive)

last, from where you bought it?

thanks
