AgreedConsidering the fatality rate of Everest climbers I'd say that someone has some seriously twisted priorities.

How about the 250GB Seagate 7200.4? It does get the best throughput at toms hardware.I was planning to swap my 5400 drive out of my 17", but I simply can't get hold of the 7200 500Gb in the UK - they don't seem to exist (everyone shows them, but nobody has them). I guess apple have bought them all for new machines.
I'll go to SSd, but I'm going to wait until they get up to at least 300Gb (I can leave my main photo library at home, but not my itunes library!).
HI LarsHow about the 250GB Seagate 7200.4? It does get the best throughput at toms hardware.
The largest supplier in Sweden shows the 500GB Seagate 7200.4 in stock, 250GB in 1-2 days.
HI GuyNumber 1 . Use Carbon cloner and make it bootable. Just download the program and put the new drive in a firewire 800 enclosure. Format it than carbon clone, than switch the drives. Do boot from the firewire 800 new drive first just to make sure all went well than make the switch
Quite right - it's also by some way the quickest way to do it.Actually best way to go. You get exactly what you have on your original drive. No surprises. We don't want surprises when doing this task.
Well, I'm jealous - enjoy . . .my air is sitting on the sofa, pretty much unused. on the other hand, perhaps not that jealous as the 17"mpb is fabI bit the bullet and simply paid up for the Intel 160gb SSD so I could get it done once and be set to go. I won't be keeping my images or my music on this laptop so I don't think space is going to be my constraint. It may come down in price but I'm not going to get overly uptight about it...at the most the difference in price will be a couple hundred dollars and now in the meantime, I can summit Everest.
