As a new 13" Macbook Pro owner, I am wondering if upgrading with non-Apple certified HDD and RAM components could drastically effect the battery life.
I am told that there is firmware in the HDD of the one that comes with a Macbook that is necessary for maximum battery life. From comparing two HDD's in my Macbook (one certified and one not) I think this might be the case. What is your experience?
Also, does there exist Apple certified RAM and, if so, does it offer more battery life compared to non-certified?
Thanks!

ClearSkies Well no, I'm still here..
Whatever the minor tradeoff in battery life with my Scorpio (which I never noticed), it's worth the larger space from the anemic stock drives that Apple ships with their units.
