Will this Seagate SSHD fit in MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)?

[BRabbit27]

I was considering upgrading my mac's hard drive to a new one. At first I was thinking of going full SSD, but prices are high for high capacity. Then I notice this SSHD from Seagate and caught my attention http://www.amazon.com.mx/Seagate-Laptop-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440646410&sr=8-1&keywords=laptop+sshd

 

My question to you guys is if this is a good sshd that will without any problems fit correctly into my macbook pro 13"? If you have any other sshd recommendation I'm open to them!

yep, it will fit but you will get simmilar speeds as you would run a normal hdd that's why i would recommend a ssd with a capacity of at least 180gb or 256 if you can afford

 

also, why does it cost 1.3k??

http://www.amazon.com.mx/Samsung-250GB-850-EVO-cent%C3%ADmetro/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1440647537&sr=8-5&keywords=ssd

well, the sandisk ssd costs as much as the sshd so i think that he should get that

 

i know hot it is to have high prices on hardware...

here a 256gb ssd cost about $180 where in the us it costs $90

yea sucks that it happens but oh well economy

Well thanks guys, I think I will go for the SSD option instead of the SSHD. I will get the samsung that ciprian97pop suggested and use my current HD as secondary storage. I assume there is no compatibility problems with my oldish Mac and this SATA III interface, right?
