    I want to purchase the seagate 1TB HDD from best buy to install into my new MacBook Pro (Late 2008). How do i install it? Will it fit? Do i need an apple tech guy to install it for warranty issues? How does it all work?

    a 1TB HDD (a deskotp 3.5" HDD) woul actually be thicker than the MBP itself, so you definitely can't put it in your MBP, unless you are a physics and engineering mastermind.

    2.5" HDD, 500GB, mmm good.
