7200RPM

Spent the weekend dismantling my slightly dented macbook pro to try and reduce the dent in the case and to repalce the stock 120gb 5400rpm drive with a 200GB 7200 rpm one. Depsite the whole experience being unnecessarily complex, Torq T6 anyone, the upgrade went fairly smoothly and the migration assistant did a perfect restore from my Time Machine backup.

The performance of the 7200 rpm drive feels significantly faster particularly during boot, when all those little application that seemed a good idea at the time are starting up. Looking forward to finally having my Itunes library back on my laptop.
