There’s a 500GB 2.5″ Drive out there! http://thejoe.com/2008/04/24/ahhh-theres-a-500gb-25-drive-out-there/ http://thejoe.com/2008/04/24/ahhh-theres-a-500gb-25-drive-out-there/#comments Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:30:56 +0000 TheJoe http://www.thejoe.com/?p=128 I just finish installing the Western Digital 320GB Drive in my MacBook Pro.  Get everything installed and OH SNAP!  I find a 500GB Hitachi 2.5″ Drive.

Well, needless to say, I am a space whore.  So, I ordered one from Other World Computing.   I did the Express overnight.  I ordered it yesterday morning, and today, it’s sitting on my desk.  It’s slightly larger than the regular 2.5″ drives.  It’s 12.5mm vs th 9.5mm height that most 2.5′s are.  However, I have done some research and it looks like it will go into a MacBook Pro 17″ with no issues.  I guess we’ll find out.

I am going to install it soon.  I’ll let you know how it all goes.

Here’s the link to what I got: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/0A53487/
