\"\"When you think about it, much of what we do here at OWC focuses on DIY<\/a>. We\u2019ve got memory<\/a>, hard drives<\/a> and other components that you can Do It Yourself and install into your computer; and even provide video instructions<\/a> for performing these upgrades on many Mac models.<\/p>\n

What we don\u2019t often talk about, though, is our DIY Hard Drive Upgrade Kits<\/a>. In these kits, we provide everything needed to perform the upgrade – the new hard drive, a mounting bracket or an enclosure for the old drive and even the tools you need during the install. Combine one of these kits with our free online installation videos, and you have a complete start-to-finish solution <\/strong>for upgrading your computer…plus you get a “new” external drive in the process too!<\/p>\n

Of course, we don\u2019t expect you to just take our <\/em>word for how great this package really is. Longtime OWC customer John C. \u201cHsoi\u201d Daub <\/strong>has recently posted on his blog<\/a> about how easy it was to upgrade the hard drive on his MacBook Pro with one of our Upgrade Kits and our instructional videos.<\/p>\n

Thanks For The Love<\/a>, Hsoi. Here\u2019s hoping to keeping you as a customer for 10 more years (and, hopefully, a lot longer).<\/p>\n

Of course, he’s not the only one to sing these kits’ praises. OWC Grant tells me that there isn’t a day that goes by that he doesn’t see a Tweet<\/a> or two saying almost the exact same thing.<\/p>\n

So why not join the ranks of DIY enthusiasts and upgrade the storage in your Mac with our OWC DIY Upgrade Kits? Larger and faster internal storage and<\/em> your old drive becomes external storage. A double win!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
