Rating: 5/5 I really did do it all by myself. May 7, 2016 This really was quite easy to install in my MacBook. My only real hiccoughs were in getting data transferred, and that was because I had so darn much of it. My old drive, which also came from OWC, was easily removed and installed in the plastic case.

Rating: 5/5 Thank God for the video! January 28, 2016 My most daring repair/upgrade to this point, the handholding by repeatedly watching the OWC video was a huge confidence builder. The operation went flawlessly, with my daughter anxiously on as I removed and replaced the innards of her beloved MacBook. It was a resounding success and has been operating flawlessly ever since.

Rating: 5/5 Did the trick - Macbook pro runs much faster January 16, 2015 Very happy with this purchase. Installed this HDD along with a new HDD cable in my mid 2009 macbook pro. Runs much faster now and quadrupled my storage. Installation tutorials are very helpful.

Rating: 4/5 Good product, instructions hit-n-miss July 17, 2014 The hardware replacement was a piece of cake, using the instructions on this site. The sofware portion was a lot less friendly, with my experience not quite matching what I was expecting from the instructions. The OS has to reinstall itself and upgrade itself, which led to having to re-register Office, etc. It took a lot longer than I was expecting. The Time Machine backup was essential.

Rating: 5/5 IY KIT: 1.0TB 7200RPM 2.5" HD + OWC On-The-Go USB 3.0 Enclosure + Transfer Kit w/Software bundle July 3, 2014 Close your eyes and buy it. This is a great way to upgrade your Mac for pennies compared to what Apple or other companies like Tekserve.

Rating: 5/5 My MacBook 13" is a dual drive speed and storage demon! May 11, 2011 OK so a few months ago I put a 60GB OWC SSD in the optical bay of my MacBook Pro 13" using the OWC Data Doubler.

I left the stock 500GB 5400RPM drive in the drive, but I wanted more storage options and faster speed than a 5400 for moving large files around. The OWC SSD lets me work fast and the 7200 750GB lets me store big and fast(ish)... it's no SDD of course, but is still much faster than the stock drive.

Now I can partition, have an in computer time machine, multiboot, large storage, and an SSD powered machine all from one little amazing laptop.
