WD My Book VelociRaptor Duo Thunderbolt Enclosure replacement drives
Not really sure where to put this as it isn't entirely Mac specific but there is a lot of experienced and helpful people here so.....
I am considering purchasing a WD 2TB My Book VelociRaptor Duo Thunderbolt Desktop Hard Drive (WDBUWZ0020JBK-NESN) which will serve me well for the immediate future. However my question comes with regard to replacing these drives, within the enclosure, at a later date. I understand the Velociraptor drives are actually 2.5" drives in a 3.5" cooling frame/ice pack. If I'm not mistaken, the Velociraptor drives use "regular" SATA interfaces so the question I have is:
Are the 1TB Velociraptor drives (with the ice pack) exactly the same form factor as "regular" 3.5" drives and thus ENTIRELY interchangeable? i.e. Mounting holes, cable connections, height, etc.
Thank you for any guidance.
