Do you know whether I can upgrade my 2007 Macbook (max hdd thickness 9.5mm) with the WD Elements SE Portable 750 GB 2.5"? Thank you!

@DaanZijlstra 750 is 12mm, you can't. Buy the internal version from IT mall.

[interlude65]

Yes

Can I upgrade my notebook's HDD with this HDD?

[emerybryant]

@maxismsk yes it a sata hdd 2.5 (according to the video) but im not sure if u have to format it to have it work

NOTE! WD Elements SE external units have the SATA-to-USB bridge circuitry integrated into the hard drive inside the case! The MicroUSB port is actually directly on the back of the drive. I just found this out cracking open a 640GB drive. Inside was NOT a Scorpio but instead a "not for resale" white-label drive with a part number of WD6400KMVV.

@akaase Is there ANY way to convert this to SATA? I have this drive as of January and I would much rather not pay for another drive....that said I can always buy the same one and just be happy with a USB RAID array lol
