So, I had a hard drive crash of the 5400.2 in my MB, 60 gb model.



It's definitely the drive and not the computer because I'm typing this on the computer with the new drive in it. Still need to take the old one for warranty.



I thought I'd try the 7200.1 momentus for more speed and space.. but I think tomorrow it's going back to the store and I'll pay the 20% restocking fee.



Because, the whole MacBook is VIBRATING.. I've tried adjusting the tightness of the screws on the drive from loose to tight, makes no difference.



It really sucks.. rest your hands on the wrist rest, and the whole thing is thrumming, rest your fingers on the keys and you feel the vibration.



Damn it, why did my drive have to die? It was great. It didn't vibrate.



Maybe this is just a bum motor but it's too much for me.

    I've put a momentus 7200.1 in mine, and I've got no problems. It's a bit louder than the 5400.1, but that's to be expected.
