Upgrading...

Sometimes I wondered whether I am a spendthrift in my deepest soul or anything; I just plunged into buying spree when I feel urged to do so. Luckily it only happened few times, phew~

Back to the story, I ordered two hard drives on eBay, one internal and one external.

Internal hard disk:

Seagate Momentus XT

Seagate Momentus XT, a hybrid drive which claims to combine both the advantages of traditional hard drive (HD) and solid state drive (SSD). HD is cheap and large yet slower than SSD; SSD is much faster thanks to its non-moving mechanism but it suffers from a high price tag. I ordered a 500GB one, hopefully it will satisfy my need (haha!) and its 7200RPM won't affect my battery life much.

External hard disk:

Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB

Western Digital. No frill. I ordered a 1 TB one, serving as Time Machine for my mac and back up data.

Ya these two little drives cost me around SGD $400. A pity that Amazon doesn't accept my order...they are cheaper up there.

I will probably post my first brave venture to open up my 1 year MBP later once I get my packages. :)
