![]() ![]() I honestly have no idea what happened to it. should i format the hard drive to mac journaled format before going ahead with the install? i thought one way of doing it would be just to go into the recovery section of the mac, thought that it might be stored on the mac somewhere besides the hard drive, if not that way then i have a usb stick set up as a recovery partition so i presume i can boot to it and do it that way. If you need tons of storage and aren't concerned about speeds, get a 5200 RPM. ![]() If you need more storage, cheap, and somewhat faster, get a 7200 RPM. ![]() So if you don't need a whole lot of space, want über fast speeds, and have the money, I recommend getting a SSD. But these cost a lot more per GB of data ($170-200 for a 256 gb drive). Like booting up your computer in 10 seconds fast. However, a SSD (solid state drive), is like 10 times faster than a standard HDD. You can get 5200 rpm 1TB drives fairly cheaply. Also, the highest capacity 7200 RPM drive I have seen is 750gb. ![]() 7200 RPM drives are also generally a few dollars more than 5200 rpm drives. Though both these would probably not be extremely noticeable. The 7200 RPM drive would be slightly more energy consuming and would run slightly hotter. Processor speed should have nothing to do with it (usually HDD speed is the bottleneck for transferring files).īTW a 5200 RPM drive is stock for a macbook, likely what you had unless you specified different when ordering it.ħ200 RPM is faster than a 5400 RPM drive (most people say the difference in speed is quite noticeable). ![]()
