Yes. Any 2.5" S-ATA HDD and SSD with a maximum height of 12.5mm will fit.

What 4GB RAM would fit a 17" Macbook Pro? (upgrade to 8GB). And would this apply for the 2012 Macbook Pros?

Thanks

The MBP comes with (2) 2GB sticks, so you would have to buy a 8GB kit altogether and not just a single 4GB stick. I recommend this one: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other World Computing/1333DDR3S08S/

Also we don't know what 2012 will hold for the MBPs...

You can also go to www.crucial.com. They have a utility that will scan your system, tell you what you have and what options are there to max out your memory (with crucial branded memory). I have had very good experience with them..

Thanks for the replies;

I'm hoping SSD prices drop somewhat by next year

But would upgrading the RAM/HDD void the Macbook Pro warranty?

No, as Apple even puts instructions into their User Guides.

LQYoshi, if you're in the UK (as your Amazon link is), register on Quidco and then use that to click through to Crucial and you'll get 7% cashback on anything you buy (RAM and SSDs). I bought the 512GB M4 SSD and 8GB RAM kit from them directly.
