OWC has a WD 5200 RPM 1 TB 2.5" drive but has a note with it stating that the drive is 12.5 MM in height and may not fit in all Mac notebooks.

15" MBP '06 2.33 C2D 4GB 10.7; 13" MBA '14 1.8 i7 8GB 10.11; 21" iMac '13 2.9 i5 8GB 10.11; 6S
All the 2.5" 1TB drives are 12.5mm in height. Macs are designed for 9mm drives. When the first one hit the market a year or so ago, there were quite a few that tried one in their MBPs (there was no 13" MBP at the time). Most of the reviewers ended up removing them. I personally wouldn't even attempt it with a 13".

WD has a 750GB drive at 9.5mm with a number of reviewers saying it fits in both the MB and MBP.
