[QUOTE="krikle, post: 1092424, member: 167702"] Hi all, I have a friends Macbook Pro 13" here. I'm a PC tech myself, and am not overly familiar with Macs. He wants to upgrade to a 500GB HD (internal) and he wants to up his Memory, too. basically, I'm wondering if a normal SATA notebook HD will fit and be compatible in a Macbook Pro? I've ordered a 500GB Hitachi Travelstar SATA 3.0Gbs? Can I just pop this into the Mac and be up and running? :) I also need to know th same thing for the RAM. Can normal notebook RAM be alright in a Macbook Pro (The right type, of course)? [/QUOTE]
