MBP HDD - Recommendations

[picnic]

I'm tempted in to increasing the HD space in my i5 MBP. AFAICT it'll take 12.5mm 2.5" drives like the 1TB WD Scorpio. Bizarrely (my opinion) it's cheaper to buy an external drive and rip the drive from the caddy than to just buy an OEM drive.

So what's the perceived wisdom in doing this? Any caveats or recommended drives please, min 750GB.

TIA

Ripping the drive out of the caddy doesn't always work. WD have been known to use drives with custom connectors rather than the usual SATA connectors. Bunch of rotten scoundrels!
