Does this hard drive fit in my MacBook Pro?

[mnbinth]

I have a 15" MacBook Pro 5,1 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
I believe this model would be called "unibody", but I have the early version with a removable battery. Can I fit a 12.5mm drive in there? I'm reading conflicting information in the forums.

I'm look at this drive. http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=685
I'm assuming this is compatible with my laptop correct?

All batteries are removable but I don't think any of the uni-body batteries are user replaceable. I could be wrong though.

Yes you can fit it. But only in the HDD bay.
