There are so many things wrong with this post and the one that follows that it is not funny. Apple demands high-quality from its providers. That is not the same as paying foolishly high prices where price ensures neither quality nor performance.
As for your statement about Apple pre-buying, I can only shake my head. How can you pre-buy components that did not exist six months ago? For established materials and components, it would be the height of financial folly for Apple to enter into long-term contracts with one set of suppliers only to have their contractors' competition provide better products and services at lower cost.
As difficult as this is for you to understand, Apple did not become the second highest capitalized company on Earth by engaging in stupid purchasing practices.
Apple has been pre buying for atlas 5 yrs now . How do you pre buy far in advance for products that on still in the planning stage ???
YOU send them 2 or 300 million dollars upfront and you request that when said items are ready and have passed all the test you would like 3 million hard drives
or 19 million
that how i guess
apple does not ever use cheap product
apple may charge a high price
fine then don't buy
go to DELL and enjoy off the shelf RE furbed 3rd world country after market crap .
APPLE PRE BUYS ALL THE TIME For the SMART BIZ PRACTICE OF LOWER D PRICING AND ALWAYS HAVING A SUPPLY ON HAND OR ON THE WAY .
your Smug post tells me you should re read past news articles about apple buying stuff
i liked the article where apple bought in advance 500 million dollars worth of flash drives in a very down market
apple locked in 5 yrs of super high quality and super low pricing
samsung was the other party .
6 months later flash drives sales went hurt the roof
go to DELL and enjoy off the shelf RE furbed 3rd world country after market crap .
Dell uses IDENTICAL parts. HDD, CPU, GPU, RAM, ODD, and displays are all off the shelf inside Apple's computers. If you ever actually open one up, you'll see that.

*light chuckle for "super high quality"*
About the only "super high quality" thing Apple has guaranteed is display panels, and they're not the exclusive recipient thereof.

Oh, awkward... I was going to say the same about you.
Why is Apple using HD that are noisey in the MBP models for 2011.Using Toshiba and Hitachi drivers? Common all you mavens out there should know some solutions to this. I am desperate for your answers thanks How about the moderators on this forum helping out a newbie?
Probably because there are only a few manufactures of hard drive out there, those two being the main ones. That being said Apple does, from my experience, tend to use some cheap hard drives....

to a point APPlE AND DELL due buy from the same vendors .
except DELLS razor thin profit forces it to always get stuck on the spot market for its goods . AND REFURBS LIVE ON THE SPOT MARKET
ALSO DELL has so many laptop lines with millions of choice's quality control and pre buying .
The real issue is >>? does APPLE PRE PAY AND PRE BUY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FLASH DRIVES AND THE SUCH .

tThat is not fair to the consumer spending a lot of cash and they install cheap hard drives.

This is true, but dont forget Apple at the end of the day has to answer to its share holders. If you put a 5400 drive in there standard, that will satisfy 98% of the population and save you money and the other 2% who need or use the faster speed, will probably have no problem spending the extra $$$ to upgrade.....
Remember Apple like ALL companies didn't get successfully by wasting money...

If this is the same noise you were asking about in the other thread you started, it was explained that you were hearing the optical drive on startup, not the hard drive.
For your information Monster cables are very expensive about $500 for interconnects alone. So don't knock it.I just sold a core 2 duo MBP 2010 model 13 inch with chirping noises now I buy a brand new 2011 i5 and the same crap again. Why if the quality control is so great with Apple!
Again, see above. It has nothing to do with quality control. I have a MacBook Pro and the hard drive is dead silent. If you have a new MBP and the HD is actually making an excessive amount of noise you should have it looked at while it is still under warranty.
However, given what you said in the other thread, you're most likely hearing the optical drive head reset on startup, and it's not a problem.

That is not wasting money it is using decent parts which the consumer should when buying the Apple products.

Sorry, same.
And when the signal doesn't get there, it doesn't get there just as fast as on the $9 cable. The gold-plated tips are for rappers to tout their bling.
And I believe "Fo'Shizzle" is the proper ending for this, though my ghetto slang is not based on experience.
Also, monoprice.com
I STAND CORRECTED

$1000 dollars for a mac is low price to pay and bitch about components that you know nothing about ,APPLE uses fine components made for them
APPLE DOES NOT BUY off the shelf

I just bought a MBP 13 inch 2.3 gig with 320 Hard Drive.what is confusing about that?
tThat is not fair to the consumer spending a lot of cash and they install cheap hard drives.
Hard drives AREN'T expensive now. There's nothing that SHOULD be done about that.

You are correct thank you.

In your opinion what is a good hard drive cost which is 7200 hd?

In my opinion you couldn't do much better than this:

Seagate 2.5in 750GB 7200rpm - $99

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I'm saying we absolutely know where Apple gets its parts.
