[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1051631, member: 56379"] Regardless of what size hard drive you decide to upgrade to...be careful what "height" hard drive you get. Make sure you determine what height hard drive you currently have. Many of the MacBook original hard drives are something like 9.5mm high...and many of the 500 gig replacement hard drives can be around 12.5mm.

Some folks are ok with this...and some folks would rather not have such a tight fit (in case there are any issues such as heat, etc.)...and decide to return the 12.5mm HD and get a 9.5mm HD. Just some info to consider, - Nick [/QUOTE]
