I got a WD 1TB My Passport essential (portable) hard-drive yesterday and opened my MacBook Pro 17'' Unibody (new april 09) to exchange it with the internal drive (320gb Fujitsu).
I was maybe stupid by buying the external drive, but did A LOT of research to see if this could be done - and it seemed it could!! The size of the new drive is no problem at all - it fits snugly. The only problem is that the connectors are far from the same!!
I took pictures of both drives that I can include if it's wanted.
Can anyone help me find a "converter" so that I can use the new hard-drive as my internal drive??? Or send me in some direction that can help?
