Hey guys, just a quickie, which type of Hard drive do i need to buy to upgrade my Mac Book Pro? Wanna go from 160GB to something considerably bigger! 500gb would be nice but i'll settle for 320 Cheers guys Sotu x
You'll just need a 2.5" SATA drive. Only thing to note is it shouldn't be taller than 1/8 (standard height of 2.5" drives) I popped a 320 in mine a year back and haven't regretted a thing since.
In our national price database standard size is listed as 1/8H. According to the specs of a random 1/8H WD drive this equals: 0.374 Inches / 9.5 mm About the "H" size: The original floppy drives, both 8 inch, and 5 inch, were 3 1/2" high. The fractions are referred to that.
I upgraded my first generation MacBook Pro's HDD from 80 to 500 not so long ago. http://www.ifixit.com/ has step by step guides for this kind of thing. You will need both a small philips and torx screwdriver to open a Macbook so be prepared.
