just installed a 12.5mm 1.5TB in my uni MBP 17" and it actually doesn't let the back pannel close all the way. It didn't bother me though, space is worth it....barley noticeable!

@OWCmacsales So if I do the install successfully, and say 6 months later something totally unrelated breaks, I am covered?
-
Useful tips thanks!!!

Yes. That will reinstall the OS onto your new Drive. Assuming the disks you have are for the OS

@OWCmacsales Does this void your warranty?
WeAreTwoDoorsDown 1 year ago
@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Installing the upgrades in and of themselves does not void Apple's warranty. HOWEVER, the warranty does not cover any damages that may result from doing so and physically damaging the computer will void the warranty.

Will a 12.5mm drive fit? I've heard yes but I would like confirmation (also heard no)
myid9876543 2 years ago
@myid9876543 Yes, the MacBook / MacBook Pro 'Unibody' models can accept a 12.5mm tall hard drive. The non-'Unibody' models is where the drive height really makes a difference where, depending on model, the 12.5mm drive may or may not fit. (Thus the confusion when looking for the information in forums and web searches)

what kind of screw drivers do you need for this?
