You can use the WD5000BEVT in every MacBook and MacBook Pro, because they all have an SATA connector and handle 9,5mm hard disks.
Addendum: You can put TWO of these in the newest MacBooks and MacBook Pros and have a terabyte RAID in a laptop.
But you'll have to take out the ODD. Optical media is dead, anyway, so that shouldn't be a big deal.
No, but the ODD is SATA now, so you can just pop a... oh, well, probably. I've seen a tutorial on the installation of a second HDD in the unibody models, so there's probably some way to secure it.
ok, thanks guys, all of you...
now, i'm more convinced to change my penryn mbp with the new unibody mbp. just need to think about 2 other problems now..
1. those many complain about loose battery pack, and...
2. buy now.... or buy later in January, so that i can also get the OSX 10.5.6 Snow Leopard in package.

The complaints are loose battery covers, not batteries. I have two MBPs and neither have this issue.
Snow Leopard is 10.6, not 10.5.6. You won't see this until June 2009 at the earliest, maybe later. 10.5.6 will be a free update to Leopard.
