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

Robin,
     I would imagine that any 2.5 inch mobile harddrive will fit into 
the new MacBook Pro.  The only question in my mind would be what kind 
of power would it draw (can the power supply deal with it) and what 
kind of heat would it throw off(will it be too hot to handle.)  I would 
recommend a  Seagate Momentus  160 GB  5400rpm.  This drive carries a 5 
year warranty.  The 5400 rpm feels much faster than the 4200 rpm 
drives; the 5400 has a much lower power consumption than the faster 
drives - battery lasts longer, and it doesn't seem as hot  to me (I 
often use my Ti with it setting on my lap - I have the 100GB 5400rpm.)  
The Seagate Momentus drives are quick, sturdy, and quiet.
    External drives are also easy to use.  Just plug them in.  The small 
ones are easy to carry around.  Something tells me if you are filling 
up a 100GB and having space problems, you will fill up a 160GB sooner 
or later.  You really might want to consider an external drive rather 
than just installing a larger drive.  If you do install a larger 
internal drive, put your old drive into an external case and continue 
to use it.
    You can never have too much hard drive space.
                    Paula

While I could get the 120Gb, 160Gb would give me a lot more elbo room.

Does anyone know if a 160Gb will fit?>>
