Performance was great, but the drive caused my MBP to vibrate. Others had this issue too. Didn't have this problem with the stock 250GB drive. I replaced the Segate disk with a 500GB 5400RPM drive and the vibration disappeared. I was very disappointed that the Momentus XT didn't work for me.

I just my mine installed last night...and I paid $119 (includes shipping). I knew I should have waited just 5 more days!!! Awesome upgrade BTW. Running Parallels with Windows 7 as well as Gimp and a slew of iWork apps all at once is quite fast and very smooth. I did the 8GB RAM upgrade last week. Very happy MBP! Curses!

I have the drive installed on my MBP and it has shown no such problems, in fact, it runs like a dream. I agree with Mark H – the drive must be bad.
