I’m looking at getting the new Early 2011 Unibody MacBook Pro 15" and would like to know if the 12.5mm HDDs available from Samsung and WD will fit without any modifications. Looking around I’m finding varying answers. Thanks!

If it’s a A1286 you should have no problem. Will the new 15 MBP fit 12.5mm high drives, or just 9mm

Yes, any standard notebook HDD will work (2.5in, 12.5 mm)
