[Ti] Can you fit a 160Gb drive in a MacBook Pro???????

John, Robin,
    The Western Digital Scorpio Drive  2/5 inch  is a SATA drive   120 
GB  fast performance, low power consumption, very quiet  (according to 
their website).  Although I have never personally used a Western 
Digital Drive, I know it is the replacement drive of choice of our 
local junior college IT department and of most of the teachers there 
who have a preference.
    Another thought about Seagate drives:  they have begun implementing 
a new way to align information on harddrives that is supposed to 
increase the amount of data stored on a disk.  I imagine drive sizes 
will increase soon.  And they are pushing the SATA  format in their 
server drives,  they may also have SATA drives showing up in their 
mobile line soon.

drive into. But the new MacBook Pro's use a SATA drive, not an ATA-6 
drive. So the new 160Gigs won't work. :-(

Otherwise I could just transplant this drive, but the interface is 
different. At least not for now. And yes, the power drain is 
substantial.
