I was able to exchange hard drives between a 17" model and a 20" model. The 17" model has a slightly different architecture inside, but I have made some notes about that on the appropriate Step.

I recently used this guide to install an Hitachi 3 TB 7200rpm drive. Works like a champ.

iFixit is a great resource. Thank you!

I used this guide in conjunction with this video for reference that was really helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShY8zuT-w... (and part 2). Repair went really easy (just take it slow). Hardest part for me was pulling out the screen. The torx screws are pretty far in and the 26 piece kit I bought from here wasn't long enough to reach (the extension has a large round magnet on it that will not insert far enough because of limited space). Thankfully I had a torx at home that was longer for that specific size, so I was able to unscrew just enough with MY torx and use the magnetic one to grab the screw (absolutely necessary to have a magnetic version). Bought the Western Digital drive and found out that it would not format with the original OS Tiger disk. Only OS Snow Leopard's Disk Utility would read the HD properly and format for Mac. If buying the Western Digital, make sure you have a newer OS to install than Tiger. I read about possible problems with OS Leopard's Disk Utility and WD drives as well, but I cannot speak specifically for that.

Great guide! I can't think of anything to add. Read it over several times to take in all for the tips, they are helpful. I replaced my dead HD with a 120GB SSD (OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3-120G). It is working great with Snow Leopard. I had to use Trim Enabler but that seems to be working fine. The 2.5 to 3.5 drive adapter was too small to fit the apple attachment be the two sided tape mount seems very secure.

A small feedback from my iman. (Late 2006, early 2007 20" display 2.16 intel core 2 duo):

Just changed my hdd and everything worked out fine. Two things are important as I found out that they differed from this guide:

1. In order to release the front bezel latches the card must be not be inserted vertically as shown in the pictures but with a slight angle using the direction from inside towards the upper corner of the bezel. I saw this in the following youtube video:

http://youtu.be/fOQ3joWnU-s

2. The torx requested to release the display screws is not a No 6 but a smaller one. Probably a No. 4, Ι am not sure exactly as I did not have one so I used a normal small screwdriver instead.

I hope I helped, the rest of the guide was very accurate and quite easy to follow.
