    Thank you OP, this is brilliant!
    I am after a replacement HDD for a mac that I bought online. It was DOA & I managed to reset it so now it boots up. 2009 macbook. It came with 2gb RAM & I popped in some more & it now has 5GB RAM. However, it still takes 9 minutes to boot, both before & after the RAM upgrade. I have run HDD tests & the Apple Hardware test & all 'appears to be ok'. The seller was told that the HDD needed to be replaced. There are no clicking noises, but its not the lack of RAM, hence I thought that maybe I should get a new MAC Compatible HDD.

    ANy suggestions anyone!? Thank yoU!

        I'm working on finding this information , please bear with me, a first time mac user, this is kinda like a hobby/experiment. I do this all the time on pcs, but with a mac, as a virgin, its so different!
        I'm still waiting for the About Mac on the desktop, I can't find the serial number anywhere on the body. I followed this (article)[https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201300] so will post back in a few minutes.

The entire Mac is white in color, the entire back is removable to expose the insides, removing 8 screws. I know that doesn't help much. It came with 2GB of Ram preinstalled. 250Gb HDD. That's all I can tell from the back,

          @lordra: If you take the rubber underside off the Macbook the serial number is printed just above the RAM slot (there is a barcode for the serial number too).

      • lordra on 20/10/2015 - 13:27

        Ok, I have it. Here you go:
        MacBook (13-inch, Late 2009, Oct 20th 2009)
        Processor and memory : 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache running 1:1 with processor speed,2GB (two 1GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM; two SO-DIMM slots support up to 4GB; 250GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard disk drive.
        Can I swap this out?

        • timmysbiscuits on 20/10/2015 - 14:33
          +1

          Yeah you should be able to swap it out with another 2.5in drive. Not sure of height though.

          Have you checked if the optical drive is working? If it's too difficult to clone the current HDD, you may need to boot from an OSX DVD.

          You'll also need to format the new drive to Mac OSX Extended. Using an OSX DVD, go to disk utilities to do this. Then you can install the OS fresh.

    • Axelstrife on 20/10/2015 - 12:06

        Ta mate, for the comment, but I wanted to experiment with this & see if I can get it to run. I do this on pcs all the time, first time for a mac, so like a project of sorts.

    • scrimshaw on 20/10/2015 - 12:07

      Go and check your Macbook model and see if the current HDD is actually removable.

      I have already listed some SSD's. The Intel 535 is a good, reliable option with lengthy warranty period.

      • lordra on 20/10/2015 - 13:28

        Thank you Scrimshaw! I've seen them, I"m guessing they will all be compatible. I was more inclined towards the 240gb in terms of price per GB, any reason why the intel? I'm not going to be using this mac, probably give it to someone else in the family, light user.

        • scrimshaw on 20/10/2015 - 14:33
          +1

          Intel has the best track record for reliability (and longer warranty) at a higher price but if that's not what you're after just go with a cheap Crucial bx100 series.

        • lordra on 20/10/2015 - 16:22

    Otherwise, anyone got any recommendations?

    • lordra on 20/10/2015 - 22:36

      Can try this!

      • rayski57 on 19/11/2015 - 16:31

        Some WD external drives apparently don't use a standard SATA connector on the internal drive so are not suited to being used in a SATA bay.
        My son has just set me a quest to find a bigger drive for his 500GB PS4.
        So far the drive lordra suggested is an option but it's much cheaper at MSY.
        Internal 2TB+ 2.5" SATA drives seem to be a rare thing currently…not sure why.
        Add 7200RPM into the mix and you may as well say impossible for now.
        Found this at Umart, but it';s a bit pricey http://www.umart.com.au/umart1/pro/Products-details.phtml?id…

        • lordra on 19/11/2015 - 23:52

          I added the seagate to my basket and it turns out its a little more expensive:
          Total products: $114.00
          Total shipping: $12.31
          Handling fee(Delivery Order Only):$2.53
          Grand Total:$128.84

          This one is cheaper but slower WD

          Have a look on static ice before you buy.

          @lordra: True, if you add postage it would make it more expensive.
          As I usually pick up on my rounds I don't look at delivery cost unless it's too far for p/u…..my bad.
          Definitely get the Seagate over the WD.
          Also a little trick I discovered -
          If you want an internal 2TB but don't want to be shafted for it, you can buy the STBX2000401 (or the newer version) from HN or OW and remove the drive from the casing. Thereby giving you a 2TB 5400RPM drive that performs better than the stock 500GB 5400RPM Samsung in the PS4.
          Bonus is that you get a USB3 case to put a SATA drive into (PS4 drive I'm looking at you) to use for external backup/transfers etc.

        • lordra on 20/11/2015 - 19:46

          @rayski57: Cheers for that info mate. But what is HN or OW?

          +1

          @lordra: Ooops yeah. That's Hardly Normal and OrificeWorks.
          Bad news is that the old version is not available anywhere now.
          The new version has 1 year warranty (old one was 3yr) and is more difficult to open without cosmetic damage (which would make a warranty claim difficult).
          We opted to buy the Hitachi 7K1000 1TB 7200rpm drive for $75 for Umart as an interim (1 year) solution.
          In a PS4 this drive outperforms the SSHD that you linked and is cheaper to boot.

    Seagate Archive 8TB $356

    Cheapest I've ever seen is ~$300 so a great deal with the voucher

    • yacman on 21/10/2015 - 16:30

      Does anyone know much about 8TB archive drives? I assume they are good for streaming large mkv file (20-30gb) over a server but slow at bulk copying data? as @danielh said

      But I'm curious for people who are following the tech, if I don't need a new HDD for around the next 6 months, is it worth purchasing? or should I wait with 16TB SSD's on the way etc. the HDD and SSD prices will fall as capacities get larger? or is all this years away and in the next 12 months we would only expect to see a few more 8TB HDD's by other manufactures and no real change in the storage landscape? therefore this is a good buy now?

      TL:DR

      I don't need more HDD space for at least 6 months.

      should I wait for bigger and cheaper drives?
      or
      is this so cheap it's worth jumping on now?

      • sessionzero on 21/10/2015 - 17:00

        These drives use a different technology than standard hard drives. They're perfect for storing your movies, music, documents and other files BUT will get bad performance if you run computer and programs off of it.

        With the voucher it's ~$50 cheaper than it has ever been, but there'll always be more deals if you don't need space right now!

        • yacman on 22/10/2015 - 13:21

    • scrimshaw on 22/10/2015 - 23:42

      RAM is RAM, the brand doesn't matter. Just make sure your RAM timings match whatever you're going to buy,

      • BarginHunter on 23/10/2015 - 07:05

        That is the 1600 number yeah?

          +1

          No, you need to look at the CAS latency. The memory timings are given through a series of numbers; for instance, 4-4-4-8, 5-5-5-15, 7-7-7-21, or 9-9-9-24. These numbers indicate the amount of clock cycles that it takes the memory to perform a certain operation. The smaller the number, the faster the memory. Make sure the stuff you're buying matches what you currently have.

          On the RAM packaging you will see something like this

          or this

          the 4 digit number seperated by dashes is what you look at for timings.

          @scrimshaw: Thanks. I don't have the packaging any more and from the pictures online it doesn't seem to have that on the ram module.

          Actually, reading again what you wrote, would I be correct in saying that my RAM currently has CL of 11 so the new RAM must also have a CL of 11?
