Picked up a cheap ($400) 15" MBP from late '08. Has 4GB of RAM and a 250GB HD currently. I'd like to go 500GB at least on the upgrade.
However, I'd like to do this in the next day or two and can't really order anything online. I bought a 1TB WD My Passport 3.0 and opened it up but is a different connection from the computer to the drive.
My question is, does anyone know of a hard drive I can buy in-store that will work with this MacBook? Is the 3.0 my problem? My friend bought a 2.0 500GB two months ago and it connected fine (also a WD My Passport). Let me know, thanks!
