[QUOTE="materialised, post: 937310, member: 130362"] Hi All, I am looking to upgrade the harddrive in my macbook pro (2009 model) it currently has a 250gig hard drive in, but I would do a lot of software development (windows and mac) and also a lot of digital movie editing, so this size just isnt enough for me. I want to future proof myself until my next upgrade, so I would like to go for a 1TB drive. I have seen this drive:[url=http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=685]WD Scorpio Blue 1 TB SATA Hard Drives ( WD10TEVT )[/url] and from what I can tell, it will be compatible with my machine (it is a 15inch model). However at the bottom of the page, it says: [I]*750 GB and 1 TB models are 12.5 mm high and may not be compatible with all notebook systems. Consult system specifications for maximum allowable drive height before attempting to install.[/I] So now I am unsure if it will actually fit my machine. Any advice would be great. [/QUOTE]
