Here’s a good story about the A weekend with FireWire.

My MacBook Pro and I had a bit of a rendezvous this past weekend. She’s a 15 inch Core Duo with 2gb ram. Although she’ll occasionally get as hot as a toaster oven (leaving red marks on my lap at times) and mooed like a cow when we first met, she’s been a consistent workhorse for me.

But her hard drive needed a transplant. Sick of her sluggish performance and hard drive clicking noises, I decided that it was time to fix her up. So, I replaced her 320gb hard drive with, surprise, a 320gb hard drive — this time a Fujitsu model instead of the Toshiba it replaced. Not because I thought the Fujitsu was any better than the Toshiba it’d be replacing, but because it was the least expensive drive I could find.

Although the hard drive installation went successful, it wasn’t without its fair share of bumps along the road. Hopefully, the bumps I experienced could provide many some guidance on what to do as well as what not to do when upgrading your hard drive.
