I went and did it. I put the 500 Gig Hitachi drive I got today into my Macbook Pro. I shot video of the whole thing. I shot video of the 320 Gig install, but since I got the 500 so shortly after, I just decided to do the one.
Here it is:
For some odd reason, my camera imports are acting up. It took 4 or so imports to get most of what you see in the video. As you can see, certain sections of the video there is jitter, I did the best I could. I was planning on doing a time-lapse of the rebuild, but it was just unusable. So, I added a text ending instead. I hope you like it!
One note on the drive. This drive is 12.5mm vs the 9.5mm most 2.5″ drives are. From my understanding, the Macbook Pro 17″ is the only Macbook that this drive will fit inside.
Anyways, this time I did a Time Machine restore to the drive once installed, and it went flawlessly.
It’s a nice drive, I did the video you see on the Macbook Pro with the new drive in it.
As usual, we plan on referencing our videos on the Techno Chubby Site when it gets up and running. 
Good Stuff!
