  • Great video. My Macbook is quickly running out of memory and I am thinking of getting a new hard drive. I found one from ebay that is 500GB from china. Its only £75 so i think i will buy it. Do you think it will work and be good? And once you change your hard drive, how do you get all of your files and music and everything to your new hard drive?

    thanks alot

  • The easiest way to transfer files is to turn your existing hard drive into an external drive via an enclosure. You may then use the time machine software to restore your system from the external drive.

  • Hi there...nice video!, can i ask you if Western digital hard drive WD Scorpio Blue

    Mobile Hard Drives 320 GB, SATA 3 Gb/s, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM compatible with my Macbook white 2.16 ghz. Thanks...

  • I haven't tried that particular drive but it should be compatible with your Macbook.

  • any recommendations on the kind, brand or type of hard drive that will fit my white macbook?

  • The type of drive you would need is a 2.5" SATA hard drive. Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, and Toshiba all make very reliable drives and they would all fit into your macbook.

  • how was it over use of brackets and screws. There were 3 screws and one bracket and the hard drive comes out. Typical PC user too retarded to notice anything
