leslieking Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Someone know a fast HDD for leopard (hackintosh) ? I'm not interested in HDD size, 160GB is enough and I prefer Seagate or Western Digital. I think, my current HDD "Samsung HD161HJ" is pretty slow. The Xbench scrore for samsung hdd is: 47-58. Using an Intel Quad Q6600 CPU and 2GB memory, the spining beach ball appear frequently. I don't want to blame OS X but windows xp is much faster on same configuration. I don't like windows I use the most compatible motherboard: EP35-DS3L. Now, what I need to do ? I need to replace the HDD or add more memory? Thanks!
