I purchased this to replace the original 500GB disk in my MacBook Pro.
Fairly simple process to replace, if you have the right cable.
In this case, I purchased an exteral USB-SATA cable, and used the standard process of creating a new boot volume on the new disk, and then did a copy/clone of the internal disk to the new disk.
Once the disk copy is completed, eject the new disk, shut down the laptop, remove the screws to open the case, 2 screws to remove the drive, unplug the SATA connector, swap the 4 screws from the old to new disk, plug it back in, button up the case and boot.
Done. Simple process. Seems to work fine.
This is a 5400RPM disk, the old 500GB disk I had was a 7200RPM. There is a noticable difference in speed when copying a lot of sequential files. For "normal" use, opening apps, saving files, etc, no speed difference.
