  • Helped à lot. You forgot to take the screwes from your old drive and put them on your new one. Now youre drive will bounce up and down in your laptop! And in every laptop from people who followed your example

  • @rajtemmink That's why there is the add on video.

  • you forgot to mention to take of the T6 size torq screws off of the old hard drive and screw it into the new one, these 4 screws hold the hard drive in place!!!!!!!!!!

  • there is an add on video regarding this. I completely forgot this and found that something was wrong when the computer was really loud. =P but there is a video showing that extra step. Thanks, I added the vid as a video response and put a link in the description so it'll be easier for people to find it.

  • doesnt this void warranty?

  • no, because I was only installing a new HDD.

  • just wondering. is this hard drive loud at all? or was it just as quiet as you original apple hard drive

  • nice vid

  • Thank you master, nice video. Good job:)

  • Wow, nice video. I do really like it. Thanks for doing that , that's give me an idea how to do an upgrade on my Mac pro :)

  • Hi

    I've just followed your steps to upgrade my own HDD but I kept getting the error message 'could not recognise the hard drive'. By then I couldn't eject the installation disk either so I had to remove it, swap back to my old one and reboot again to eject the disk. The new one is formatted but I just can't get it to recognise the new one?

    Can you help?

    Thanks in advance

  • can anyone help me? when i boot my macbook it says "no bootable device". i already have my installation disk in. Any tips?

  • with new hard drive will help the macbook pro runs faster? or not?

  • i noticed in your other video you said you have an HDTV and i see it there that you had it connected through mini display port connector to VGA which is good but cannot handle HD quality picture so if you wanted to you can get a mini display port to HDMI input and connect to your HDTV for the best picture…i almost made the same mistake so just trying to help
