Hey everyone,
Well, with xmas coming up, I've been thinking of doing a few small upgrades to my Early 2008 MBP. I was going to go for a 256GB SSD, but when I saw the price... no way .
However, it has come to my attention recently that Western Digital released a 1TB 2.5" SATA HDD, and this would be perfect for my MBP as I'm selling my desktop soon and it has about 400GB of stuff on it. I'll only be getting about 50GB of that off and deleting the rest, but I've been around the "2GB - 4GB remaining" mark of my current 200GB HDD for ages, and I've only got a small bootcamp partition, so I can only have 2 games at the most installed on Windows at a time (which is annoying as I love gaming on this laptop).
Anyway, these HDDs are very cheap now, and I'd love to buy one, and I know that they work with the late-2008 and 2009 MBPs, but nothing has been said about the early-2008 MBP. Does anyone know if there would be any problems with it if I were to install it in my MBP?

EDIT: Or does anyone else know of any other HDDs that would fit and have a 500GB or more capacity?
