I found this on Ben's Site - http://bensbargains.bizrate.com/hard...__nwylf--.html . . . . . will it fit in the MacBook?

Yeah but you'll need a hammer and chisel to shave off that extra inch on the hard drive.

In other words, no. That is a desktop drive, which is approx. 1 inch too large to fit in a notebookn (3.5" versus 2.5"). So far the largest notebook SATA drive I've seen was only 120 Gigs, though I've heard of 160 Gig drives. Of course, these notebook drives are also much more expensive per GB.

Any ramblings are entirely my own, and do not represent those of my employers, coworkers, friends, or species

Yes, it fits quite nicely in one of these attached to your MacBook.

The biggest drive you can put inside your MacBook is 120GB; AFAIK the 160GB drives are available in ATA, but not SATA.
