What is the biggest hard drive you've fitted to a MacBook?

[PhilW]

Hi folks,

I've got an early-2008 white MacBook that shipped with a 160GB hard drive. I'm getting pretty close to the limit with music, videos and pictures so I'm planning on upgrading to a new hard drive soon.

Simple question really: what's the biggest hard drive you've managed to get working in your MacBook.

Thanks,

Phil

I got my 320 GB hard drive last year. There are 500 GB ones now.

WD5000BEVT 2.5" is fast and the biggest hard drive that would work.

Samsung HM500HI is cheaper but slower and uses more power.

I'm just about to fit one of these to my MacBook....

There shouldn't be a "logical" real-life limit in terms of storage capacity.

Just make sure you get a drive with the right connector (SATA) and 9.5mm height. There are a few practically non-standard 12.5mm height drives...
