I do wonder how I'll seat the cable, but the cable coming out of the machine doesn't bother me if I can get that extra capacity. | |

I've never opened my MBP up, but when I took it to an authorized service shop to get a 500gig put in, he accidentally tore the tiny sata ribbon cable and had to replace it. Plus, you'll have a nasty cable coming out of the machine, which might be a bad thing. Wish you luck though! | |
