    Got a spank'n new mbp15, 2.5 8gb w/ HIres from ebay. put a 60gb vertex 2 drive into it for a boot drive, do you think i should get a 7.2k drive for storage? too much heat? 500gb 5.4 will do just fine? I did not have a T6 screwdriver so im currently having the apple sticker hold it in place :( . Pretty happy now that im back in the family ;)

    Wow, the first 3 posts have nothing to do with the thread!

    Anyway, I'd get a 7200rpm 500GB. Its not really hotter, maybe a few C, but thats it. It a good bit faster too.

    I don't think he was serious, look at his name. :p

    I do agree that the 7200rpm is a good choice.
