MacBook Pro Hard Drive Upgrade

For a Christmas gift I received a 500 GB internal Seagate hard drive. It also has a speed of 7200-rpm. My previous hard drive was a 250 GB hard drive at 5400-rpm. So I have a recording of me upgrading the drive with the video sped up. The program I used to clone the hard drive was SuperDuper, incase anyone was wondering. The enclosure I used to put the internal hard drive in was a Rosewill SATA to USB enclosure. If you are wondering why it took so long to boot up, its because after putting in a new hard drive the computer takes a while to boot off of it. The computer now boots up in less than 25 seconds, and the overall speed of the system has increased 50%.

What happened to zmommom and totalmandude

[Hildron101010]

@RefereeMario Zmommom is still a member, Totalmandude got fired about a year and a half ago. Long story, I don't want to discuss it really. I hope this answers your question.

what did you use to speed up the video [also in what program i use Final Cut Pro/Studio]

[Hildron101010]

@2040Tech Final Cut Express, but I might get the new version of Final Cut Studio when it comes out, or just get the current one for a lower price when the new one comes out.

[Hildron101010]

@nOrCaLnerd89 Yeah, I have heard some stories about those too. All I can say is, no Seagate HDD ever died on me.

@Hildron101010 Knew it (Sorry for asking)

@rifall Thanks :) the funny thing is that I have opened up an HP computer to modify it, lol

[rifall]

@1536mbComedy Well, it depends on the manufacturer. Once they see that it is not exactly in the condition it was bought in, most companies will void the warrantee. Heck, I think HP voids the warrantee if a cable is loose or disconnected. Lolz. Besides, most of the time, Apple doesn't check for warrantee when checking on your computer.

I laugh at people who say Macintosh computers have no upgradability.
