MacBook Pro 2007 (Late) Max HDD Size

Hi Guys,

My Macbook pro came with a 120GB HDD, This was upgraded to a 240GB HDD. I am thinking of Buying a 500GB HDD.

Will a MacBook Pro 2007 Support this size?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

I installed a 500gb drive in my late 2007 MacBook Pro A1226. Search my other posts on the Western Digital drive. Note that there is a height limitation for hard drives of the original macbook pro's so that limits your choices a bit.

Hi J,

No matter which MBP you have, it will support the 500GB capacity. The only issue would be if the HD was 12.5mm high and you have a 15" MBP. That will not physically fit. You'd need a 9.5mm high HD. If you have a 17" MBP, then either height will fit.

I put a WD 500GB Scorpio Black in my late 2007 MBP, and it has been working with no issues at all.
