Baine: Good question and I’ve had it long enough to have a sense of it. My MacBook Pro was plenty hot on the left side before the upgrade, not much hotter after. I’d say go for it, heat isn’t a problem for me.

I should also say that what I’ve discovered was that I was running out of room on my old HD and that made the system do a lot more work and in turn, made the HD read and write more. This HD is 160 gigs which gives me more breathing room which in turn seems to help the system run better.

hi, i ran out of room on my HD and have been thinking about upgrading but was having the same concerns as you about the heat problem in the mbp. so since you have had a month or so to work with the 7200 rpm how is the heat situation?

Jon: So far so good (no excess heat).

Hi Richard,

This looks like a very neat and painless install. Fingers crossed it doesn’t create the feared heat….

Speak soon,

Jon
