Numberzz Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 if you could change it at all, i would give it the bigger drive with RPM and more space. I did the same thing and regret it. But I am a media hog, so maybe you don't need it...

katmail Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 It was reported that Drive bigger than 100GB don't come @7200rpm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33165-my-macbook-pro-17-finally/#findComment-234647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Fogge Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yep, 100GB is it for the limit for the 2.5" 7200 RPM drives, and that is due to the fact that it uses Perpendicular storage or else you would still be stuck at 80GB. Just wait a few months and you will get something bigger at the higher speeds.

sev7en Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 What great celebrations! Thanks friends!!! It has been shipped yesterday from SHANGAI!

willgonz Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I ordered one too but with a 200 Gig. I have been reading that the new drive technology that uses perpendicular recording actually yields faster read/write access times. Will benchmark and post.

Adrian Fogge Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Still waiting on mine... It shipped Thursday morning (for me at least, thursday evening for China) and Fedex said "Package received after FedEx cutoff" meaning that now it is still sitting in Shanghai even after a full business day in China... Not too thrilled about my month delayed system with overnight shipping not showing up until Tuesday when it left Apple's hands the previous Thursday.
