[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1055508, member: 46727"] While the 12.5 mm (height) will fit in the new unibody MBPs you do need to be aware that the extra space taken up can result in poorer cooling of the drive. I know that the 3 mm difference doesn't sound like much, but when you have a 750 GB drive spinning at 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM a lot of heat can be generated. What do the folks say at Mac sales? I'd like to get their take on the difference in heat dissipation between the 9.5 mm and 12.5 mm drives. Regards. [/QUOTE]
