What a great decision that was! I swapped out my 160gb 5400 HD that came with my MBP with a 750gb 7200 HD. Took about 3 hours to clone the new HD from my old one, and took less than 10 minutes to do the physical swap out! Now I can have all my music on my computer and do away with the external HD i was using for my music. I am still running a weekly backup of my music and taking my external to gigs with me just incase anything happens to my computer I can just burn some CDs with my latest music...
With the new HD i think my computer is running a lot better, not that it was bad before, but it just seems faster.
Just thought I would share, its a simple upgrade, and fairly cheap as well. Total cost was $112 and that included shipping of everything needed.
