noob question about hard drive

[150-cav]

i have a 13" macbook and i want to change the hard drive, i saw the step by step instructions but the bottom side of my macbook doesn't look like that.

any help is great, but here is what i've heard

i heard that you have to use the same brand of hard drive as what came with your mac, is that true?

What MacBook do you have? You can use any 2.5" SATA drive, it doesn't have to be from same manufacturer as your current

As noted by Hellhammer ( \m/ ), this is not true at all. You just need a disk that fits.
