What is the largest internal Hard Drive I can install in a MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 (13-inch DDR3) Mid-2012?

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the largest internal Hard Drive that I can install in a MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 (13-inch DDR3) Mid-2012?

Crucial points me toward a 1TB they sell, but their one customer feedback on the model states that although Crucial states the drive he purchased is supposed to work with his laptop, it actually was too large. He doesn't identify which laptop he has, but this makes me caustious.

I'd like something even larger than 1TB, if possible. But if this is max. I would appreciate a recommendation.

Help?

Thanks in advance!

you can install the largest capacity hard drive that will fit in your mac which is 1tb. I have not seen any larger capacity hard drives that fit into mac notebooks as of yet.

It appears this Toshiba 1.5 TB drive for $140 should fit: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Toshiba/MQ01ABD150/

(I see WD has 2TB Green series drives for under ~$180, but they're larger - 15mm - so not for laptops/notebooks.)
