Speed Test: Western Digital WD5000BEVT vs Seagate ST9500420AS


xBench disc speed comparison on my unibody 15" MacBook Pro before and after replacing the 5400RPM WD5000BEVT with a 7200RPM ST9500420AS. Pretty impressive, though the speed increase closely correlates to the current price difference on Newegg. Weirdly, the new drive seems quieter. I can't comment yet on heat or battery life effects.

P.S. Changing the drive on these machines is like taking a bath in warm kefir - so easy.

Can anyone recommend the well-priced Software Deployment tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central security management
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
