I have just bought and done an internal HD upgrade to my Macbook C2D. I installed a 160GB Western Digital Scorpio drive to replace the 80GB Toshiba.
The new internal hard drive cradle (the one that has the 4 x torx screws) has now got two different types of screws. 2 screws have a small flange (like a washer that is part of the screw head) and 2 screws that don't have the flange.
In my haste in laying all the parts out for an easy re assembly I confused the different screws.
Can anyone tell me if they can confirm if the screws without the flange go nearest to the Sata connector? I am fairly certain this is correct. But it would be nice to know for sure.
One other question maybe someone knows about. My new Western Digital drive has vibration that my original Toshiba didn't have. I first noticed it when I put the drive into an external case for cloning. I thought maybe the Macbook chassis might suppress the vibration completely but it didn't. I am just wondering if this is 'normal' for this type of drive.
Thanks in advance
