wibbles Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Can any Mac techies advise on the best place to purchase a new hard disk for my Macbook (2007). It needs replacing, which I am happy to do myself but not sure of the best place to begin looking for a new one. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric_Collins Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Get rid of them mechanical disks and put in a SSD and turn that mac into a flying machine. Ebuyer are doing 120gb OCZ agility 3 for less then £55. I put one in my 2006 Mac mini and it rocks ! All you do is either clone the HDD with a clone tool ( that's what I did ). I popped the SSD into an external caddy and in about 1/2 hour swapped them over and job done. If you do use SSD you will need to enable TRIM , that is an option only enabled on genuine apple SSD HDD's. the TRIM makes the disk faster and can be enabled with 3rd party patch that's a small .dgm file. I've done it and its brill ! ---------- Post added 04-03-2013 at 16:38 ---------- Here's a video showing my mac booting in a few seconds with an SSD It's upgraded 2ghtz C2D from 1.6ghtz 3gb ram from 512mb 120gb SSD from 60gb Bluray-RW from cdrw Firmware 1.1 to 2.1 1tb Iomega maxmini time machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
