Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB (ST9320421AS)
Monday, August 4th, 2008I happened to be able to get a couple of the new Seagate Momentus 2.5″ 7200rpm 320GB laptop hard drives from PC Connection.
After a 20-minute upgrade following these instructions for replacing a MacBook Pro hard drive I ran xbench and below are the results, in case anyone cares.
A couple of tips:
- Don’t get the drives with G-shock if you’re an MBPro user
- No, there shouldn’t be any jumpers set on the drive.
