[Benedictninja]

YOU HAVE SPEEDED UP THE VIDEO

[mallermedia]

@Benedictninja You are a genius.

[Benedictninja]

@mallermedia tks

[Sumerah]

@mallermedia Yes and it makes the video useless to learn from.

[DJGHOSTRUNNER1]

@mallermedia Hahahahhahaha!! That was funny shit man LMFAO

[DAshiznit0804]

7200 rpms will eat up your battery life you guys, so if you really just want to upgrade just the memory without chopping into the battery life stick with the standard 5400 rpm hard drive that comes with it. Remember if you do decide to upgrade the hard drive period to get a 2.5 inch SATA, not 3.5 inch.

@housefreaker who is chuck norris?

[justkillen07]

crazy

[JakobRiga]

haha cool I wish i could do it that fast :D

[Drummerofrevolt]

Changing the HD on a macbook is way easier, it's not that mac doesn't want people changing things themselves, I think it was just a design flaw.

[ftlPhysicsGuy]

I've owned Apple computers since the 80's and Macs since the early 90's. I've never owned a non-Apple computer. However, this is one area where Apple just gets it WRONG!

I've worked with PC laptops in situations that required us to change the HD more than once a day (switching between "types" of work). Apple should make their hardware as easy to deal with as their software. Either they don't want you changing things without paying them or they just don't care about user needs in this area!

[Panditha666]

i think you can do that with the mac pros eh? easy to remove

[polyzygote]

it's the money

[suspekt29]

@ftlPhysicsGuy Right on man. I actually attempted to replace my ram on one of the previous generation Macbook Pros. I somehow managed to damage the clip holding it and of course that meant the whole logic board needed to be replaced and not the area I damaged. I had to fight like hell just to get them to repair it since they dont allow accidental damage. If they dont want you going inside, you should at least be able to make an appt at the Genius Bar to do the "dirty work"

[gsutk1]

Use Super Duper! to mirror the drive before you swap it out. That is step number one before you ever pick up a screw driver. Both drives will be bootable when you finish Super Duper!

[mallermedia]

The newer Macbook Pro is very easy to swap hard drives in. Two screws and about five minutes and you're done. Don't hate. It's a waste of energy. Enjoy your Acer. :-)

[Panditha666]

wont it void the warranty?

[mallermedia]

It's no longer under warranty, anyway, so it doesn't matter. If it was covered under Applecare, I might have waited.

[Xsynth]

@Panditha666 No, upgrading your hard drive does not void your warranty.

[meowser007]

When a new hard drive is added. How do I get Leopard onto the new drive.

[ski4kil]

take your leopard disk and start from the EFI menu and select the installer

[eflores99tx]

what a worthless video

[jaraber]

wtf you janky fool

[picturegeek1]

completely useless

[ThinkUltra]

what a useless video.

[neek247]

upgrade in 60 second yet the video is 1 min and 5 seconds lol

[ddhboy2]

I wish apple made this sort of thing easier to do and not void your warranty. I mean the macbook had a simple way to upgrade the hard drive, why not the pro?

[mallermedia]

The new model Macbook Pro is similar to the Macbook now. None of this is necessary any longer.

[TonyF2013]

Good vid! I upgraded a MacBook Pro HD from 160 to 250GB once and was surprised at how easy it was.

[Macint0shHD]

wow, your fast......

[coolerdude44]

does anybody know if its possible to upgrade the hard drive to 320 gb or 500 gb? thats the only reason i like the imac better, 200 just seems whimpy, is it possible to upgrade that much? do they make them that big for macbook pros? thank you

[mallermedia]

Yes, any SATA laptop-format drive can be used. The reason I went with the 200GB drive at the time was the 7200RPM speed, which gives a real performance boost. There are now 320GB 7200RPM drives.

[nilkcif]

are you sure it's for the macbook Pro? and if it is, can you find it at Best Buy?

[TheYouFromTube]

just serach for the black sorpio by western digital. they have a 320gb model which is 7200rpm

[carlisleboi27]

no, 5 secconds, and i saw it

[coshgr]

chuck does it in minus 30 seconds. so nobody can see it.

[blicksflicks]

Dude, he needs to work for Apple!

[sdblairva]

Yeah. If you're the Flash.

[jonnygrifff]

60 seconds my but. i bet you that took you at least 10 min.

[cyberfreakct38]

LOL!

[RandomGEEEK]

Uhh... I think you didn't did it in 60 sec.

You just fast forward it... Besides that was

a minute and five seconds.

[Mgibson711]

really?? it was sped up?? you dont say

[anthonym2121]

oh I didn't even notice it was sped up

[lukerman]

FOOL, the first 58-60 secs of the video were him assembling the HDD, the last 5 or 6 was him testing it.

Epic PHAIL.

[xXYonnyXx]

Wut I thinke iz... u didn't did it in 60 secunds... no siree bob. I learnded sumbthin 2dae...

[lukerman]

Don't ever type like that on the internet again. You define the stereotypical idiot.

[xXYonnyXx]

Dude I was mocking RandomGeeek alright. He said something stupid, I replied to it. I don't actually type like that, Jeeze. I wish Youtube would put replies under the damn original comment like they used to.

[dangsterr]

I'd rather call a technician and using like 50 more bucks than ruining my laptop

[Mgibson711]

more like a couple hundred more

[ASV07]

To upgrade the MacBooks RAM you take the battery out.

[mallermedia]

No kidding! I did my son's hard drive in 60 seconds with no need for video special effects! :-)

[niceveritt]

Strange how they make the consumer notebook- the macbook, easier to upgrade than the macbook pro. To upgrade the macbook hard drive just pull out the battery and there it is.

[yiyopr1]

i was thinking of doing that until i sew the video, no im scared!!!!

[mallermedia]

It's really not that hard, but if you've never done it before, I'd practice on somebody else's computer first! It's going to void your warranty and cause a lot of damage if you break anything. :-O

[tomomersey]

yeah, simple???

[peanutbuttercrunch]

ha! I did it in :59 seconds!
