2011 Macbook Pro 13.3" Hard drive swap

2011 Macbook Pro 320gig 5400RPM to 320gig Western Digital 7200RPM. Had a email on the screwdriver I used.... It is a Autoloader precision. You just slide the handle down twist and push back up... it quick and east to switch drivers.
Here is where I got it from Amazon: http://amzn.to/hzKNFI

This DID make everything a bit faster including loading. I have not noticed much of a difference in battery life since the swap.

You can get 8 gigs of memory at Amazon for $45! http://amzn.to/nKgIII

Can one just use external units to transfer entire old hdd to new one?

[TechDripper]

@ODDNAME Yes, and a program like SuperDuper will do that.

Hi ive just ordered a wd hd for my new mbp. Once I replace the new hd will i have to install the software cd that came with my macbook?

[TechDripper]

@adamsbil1 Yes, that is how you restore the system back.

This video has cut out the part where the screws attached to the side of the drive have to be taken off and attached to the new drive. An important ommission!

Hi, I have a macbook pro 2011 13" with a Toshiba 500gb hdd which makes a clicking noise every 15 seconds. This drive makes also another noise that is constant and sounds like a fan spinning ALL THE TIME. Are those noises gone by WD Scorpio?

I just picked up the MBP 13 (320 gb i5). Can you recommend a replacement hard drive around 500gb 7200. I also bought the Apple Care warranty, will it void it if i swap hard drive? Thanks!

[jwgodwin93]

@TechDripper What hard drive was in your macbook pro before you upgraded? I want to use it to find a similar drive.

@adamsbil1 No the new drive will magically already have exactly what you want on it when ou buy it...
