Ugrading Hard Drive in 1st Gen 17" MBP

Just a quick question to anyone that can answer. My warranty is up so it's time to upgrade the hard drive (Currently 120GB, 5400RPM) in my MBP. I just have one question. This is the HD I'm looking at putting in:

It's a Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200RPM drive. I just thought I'd ask if anyone here knew whether or not it will fit properly inside my lappy.

Yes that will fit, you really just need to check it's 2.5" with 9.5mm height and that it's SATA.



The install guide is here:

and you can buy it for $119 here:

Thanks! I'm in Canada, and ME generally has the best prices. Shipping to the border + exchange rate and gas to get there would cost more, and both Newegg Canada and Tiger Direct would cost more. But thanks! So I just need to make sure that it's 2.5" & 9.5mm. Can do. Already have the iFixit guide printed out for my weekend new HD/snow leopard upgrade project
