The MacBook Pro has a built-in “Sudden Motion Sensor” that disengages the drive h4ads in case of a fall.

Battery life should realky be about the same — hard drive usage is the same regardless of storage capacity. As for its power-efficiency itself, I would imagine it to be as good or better than older drives since these are designed for mobile computing.;

Hi - just discovered this post in a google for “macbook pro ST9320421AS” - turns out you’re Rails developers, too!

How do you determine which drives come with the G-shock? I was going to order a ST9320421AS from Amazon (as seen here; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-OEM-ST9320421AS-MOMENTUS-Notebook/dp/B001IKKCHW/ref=cm_cr-mr-title) but I’m worried about getting one with G-shock; does it make the drive completely incompatible with an MBP?

I had the same question, as the smaller capacity drives I had in the past did have a jumper set. However, if I remember correctly, these 320’s had no jumpers out of the box.

Did the drive come with jumpers. I installed the drive but my dumba$$ forgot to look to see if there were jumpers.

+1 for Compass. I just started using on a Merb app and it was pretty easy to set up.

Compass is a Sass framework that provides a reset as well as ports of major css frameworks like blueprint and YUI including the ability to mix and match them.

Hey,
Thanks for the post. Glad to know it works.

I was wondering why you suggested not to get G shock.
Also did you notice any battery life differences?
