[QUOTE="6string, post: 1043179, member: 120039"] They come in 2.5" 9.5mm or 12.5mm high You need the 2"5 9.5mm SATA HD You can get the 500GB or the 640GB in the 2.5" 9.5mm form factor that you need. I would sway towards the 7K500 that I mentioned above, and use your external drive for as much large storage as you need. To clone the drive, download [URL="http://www.bombich.com/"]Carbon Copy Cloner[/URL], clone your drive to the new drive in the external enclosure, and then simply change the drive. To change the drive is easy. Here's the teardown guide.
