Macbook Pro 15" Unibody June 2009 release Hard Drive upgrade

This is the newly released June 2009 MacBook Pro 15" Unibody. Upgraded the HD to a 500gb and since there were like no videos on this new model, I decided to make my first video ever on something like this to assist others.

It has the 9400M which is a dedicated GPU. It doesn't come with two like the higher model has. That might have two fans but no one has verified that yet.

I backed up the HDD before upgrading my MB with Time Machine to an external USB drive. Then upgrade the HDD and restore the Time Machine backup from the HDD - it's very easy to do. You don't have to reinstall software and such - the restore from a Time Machine backup is one of the installation options during the first five minutes of setting up the new HDD.
