1) Will two of these fit into an alienware 17 laptop (these ones have the heat sink factory removed to fit the 2.5 form factor,)
2) if they do is it a good idea to do so why or why not

heat wise what can i expect with them without the heatsink? i found an article that say they have the same surface temp as a wd black but can anyone confirm this?

"The Caviar Black’s access noise is more noticeable than on other drives, although the drive will probably still be the quietest component in a high-end PC. Another side effect of this drive’s no-compromise performance is its surface temperature, which we measured at 117°F (47°C). This is about as high as the surface temperature of the 10,000 RPM WD1500 Raptor, but it is still considerably less than the temperatures we measured for the old Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 with five platters."

These are 15mm height drives, most laptops will only fit a 9.5mm drive and some even require 7mm drives. I would check carefully on that as I doubt that the 15mm drive would fit, much less two.
