Mates, I now have a working macbook (thanks for all your help in getting the machine working again)…and I also have a macboo pro core duo. I want to upgrade the harddrive on both units. Serial numbers are: Macbook 13": 4H6250A1VMN Macbook Pro 15": W862196BVWX I know the RAM upgrade is limited to 2G. Any limit on the Harddrive capacity? Can I stick a 1TB in there? I’ve used the “we love macs” cite and it seems that any 2.5" SATA harddirve is compatible. Is that true? And what about the “slim” harddrive I keep coming across - is it better/worse? will it work in either of these machines? Thank you all for your time and assistance, Armen
It appears that the “slim drive” is a new marketing term. The new slim drive is the old standard 9mm drive that we’ve been using for years. This is opposed to the newer 12 mm drives. Here’s what OWC says about what the “Fat drives” will work in: 1.0TB WD Scorpio Blue 5200RPM SATA 12.5mm HD with Advanced Format Technology - Fits all Apple MacBook/MacBook Pro ‘Unibody’ Models (13/15/17"), MacBook Pro ‘pre-unibody’ 17", and PC Laptops which support 12.5mm SATA Drives. This means that you need to stay with a 9 mm drive for your machine.
