[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1171649, member: 56379"] I have a feeling that instead of making "thinner" (9.5mm) 1 terabyte drives (currently 12.0-12.5mm) to fit into older Macintosh laptops...when 1 terabyte drives (in the future) become the "norm" or common in laptops...Apple will simply redesign MacBook Pros (maybe MacBooks as well)...to safely accept the 12.5mm 1.0 terabyte & larger 2.5" hard drives. I know some folks have posted on Mac-Forums trying to fit the 12.5mm into their MacBook Pro's...and found the fit to be VERY tight if forced. Kind of like putting one or two pairs of pants too many into a suitcase, and having to sit on it to get it closed!;) They then decided to remove the 12.5mm drive...return the drive...and get the largest 9.5mm drive they could find (generally a 500 gig). - Nick [/QUOTE]
