Might still be made by Samsung. It has good reviews.

Thread:

Need a recommendation on a new HDD for my 2010 13" MBP. - biscuit141 2015-01-06 17:23:33 (282 views)
- If not looking at SSD then the Samsung spinpoint M9T is pretty darn fast - egp320i 2015-01-07 17:55:57 (224 views)
  - Is Samsung and Seagate the same now? I was never a fan of Seagate drives before. - biscuit141 2015-01-07 20:47:34 (216 views)
    - That Samsung is a Momentus drive from Seagate. Probably the same factory though. - manualAvant 2015-01-07 21:34:07 (223 views)
      - Samsung M9T might just be a labeled Momentus, would not be shocked - egp320i 2015-01-08 22:48:04 (217 views)
      - I think I am going the HDD route. I need the space.  -  biscuit141  2015-01-07 22:41:32 (208 views)
        
        Buy a SSD and a portable HDD if you need more external space.  -  louwill  2015-01-08 13:54:12 (217 views)
        
        The 7200 is going to be a higher quality drive.   -  manualAvant  2015-01-07 23:14:38 (210 views)
        
        So what drive do you recommend? The Samsung 2TB is only 5400.   -  biscuit141  2015-01-08 10:20:34 (212 views)
        
        You really need to haul 2TB around? Can't farm that off to a NAS or USB drive?   -  manualAvant  2015-01-08 11:15:37 (200 views)
        
        We use the laptop to manage our photo library. Already have over 200GB of photos and videos  -  biscuit141  2015-01-09 22:20:51 (226 views)
        
        They make a 1TB SSD   -  manualAvant  2015-01-09 22:41:39 (193 views)
        
        Yeah, way more than my budget. Inside is a link to HGST 1TB drives, how do I know what the differenc   -  biscuit141  2015-01-09 23:19:54 (198 views)
        
        Two of them have 32MB cache. The difference between those is bare/retail (who cares)   -  manualAvant  2015-01-10 13:49:14 (183 views)

- I have an older 128GB OCZ in my 2009 MBP. It gave it a second life. - louwill 2015-01-07 13:31:33 (201 views)
- this too much? (yes, only double the space instead of quad) - manualAvant 2015-01-06 22:52:09 (218 views)
  - You think the performance increase offered by SSD is worth it? Would I notice a huge difference on - biscuit141 2015-01-07 08:43:30 (258 views)
    - I recently just upgraded all our laptops to SSD...totally worth it. - EDness 2015-01-15 10:00:02 (202 views)
    - Agree - SSD on my machines made a huge difference. Not heard good things about the hybrids - Reggie 2015-01-07 12:18:08 (203 views)
    - FWIW, when our IT guy "upgraded" my SSD to a hybrid in my dell mobile workstation... - thinset 2015-01-07 11:44:14 (243 views)
      - It's the worst of both worlds. Quick SSD death, low reliability, questionable speed increases. - manualAvant 2015-01-07 11:50:15 (212 views)
    - think of all the things that are slow on your machine due to loading - manualAvant 2015-01-07 10:25:41 (208 views)
      - Did you put this in your machine? Would battery life improve with a SSD vs standard HDD? - biscuit141 2015-01-07 11:19:12 (212 views)
        
        I put a slightly slower m500 in mine. Battery wasn't noticeable. Maybe I gained 15-30 min? - manualAvant 2015-01-07 11:48:05 (203 views)
