I’m looking to upgrade my internal HDD in my Macbook Pro and am wondering if anyone could recommend any serious, reliable work horses from experience?
My current internal is a 5,400rpm 320GB. I’m looking at getting a 7,200rpm, hopefully 750GB or there abouts.
I’ve looked at the Momentus XT, with the on board 4GB SSD chip, not sure entirely whether this will benefit me though due to the amount of different programs I use on a regular basis?
Other than that, I’ve been considering the Seagate Momentus and the WD Scorpio Black.
I noticed that Western Digital also offer the Scorpio Blue, which is just 5,400rpm, but goes up to 1tb!! It’s the biggest 2.5" I’ve seen so far!
Also, is cache a big thing in performance? I notice that some (ie. Scorpio Blue) have 8mb, and some have 16mb?
To shed some light on my situation, my main work flow generally involves FCP, Motion, Color, Nuke, PFTrack, Houdini, RealFlow and Logic Pro.
Any help or advice would be fantastic and greatly appreciated 😀
Thanks in advance guys.
