had an old macbook pro from way back in 2010, big chunky beast that got water-damaged in the rain the one time. i moved on since i needed a work machine at the time, but i kept it stowed in my cabinet for what would seem like years. now that i've tested OWC for their products during my repairing sessions with office machines, i took the plunge and bought this hoping i could bring my laptop back from the dead, and it did! my only issue is that it's really slim, so it doesn't fit snugly inside the macbook, but this was easily solved by getting some styrofoam and squeezing it between the drive and the body's frame. thanks owc!
