Western Digital Scorpio Blue 750GB or 1TB drive in a Macbook Pro

I know there must be alot of other people out there like me who are wondering, will WD’s new big drives fit in my notebook? The problem is most modern laptop drives are 9.5mm high, while WD’s new WD7500KEVT (750GB) and WD10TEVT (1TB) drives are in the older 12mm high standard size. So, the short answer is no, they won’t fit in a lot, maybe most, notebooks.

So will it fit into the Macbook Pro? The answer is yes, but with some important caveats. And sorry for redirecting you, but I'm trying to move away from blogspot.
