orangetarts 249 Posted October 24, 2013 So i have a macbook pro (Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and i have a 320gb internal storage drive. and I was wondering... is there even a way to upgrade the storage? I was talking to a friend and he said that he's not sure if it's possible. but he's also a PC person and doesnt know anything about macs.... So....if anyone knows please let me know >< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sai 868 Posted October 24, 2013 My niece's boyfriend has quite a bit of knowledge of Mac computers, and afaik he said that it is possible to take out the Mac CD-drive and replace it with either an extra processor or an extra harddrive. However, I highly suggest you let someone who knows what he's doing do that for you, lol. Also, how many inches is your MacBook? I know this is possible for a 15-inch but also with a 13-inch (though harder because the 13-inch is smaller). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangetarts 249 Posted October 24, 2013 Mine is the 15inch model. lol, yeah of course I'll take it somewhere. I dont wanna risk permanently fucking up my computer when I sure as hell dont have the money to get a new one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonsaijodelfisch 328 Posted October 24, 2013 jup, the cd-drive to harddrive switch is possible for all macbook-pros that have a cd-drive (hence not the retina-models, which sucks for me ) here is the kit (or one of them, i guess there exist multiple ones) http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/ depending on the year/generation of your macbook you will have to let a specialist do the swap, because the macbooks became increasingly user-unfriendly and now use screws that need specialised tools to use with it etcetc #applefuckshitcunts edit: here's a video of that... 1 orangetarts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted October 24, 2013 Well, the only thing you can change on a Mac on your own is more or less RAM-memory and hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orangetarts 249 Posted October 24, 2013 Which is exactly what I want to do, I just need more space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crucifiction 754 Posted October 30, 2013 Of course it is possible I have upgraded my MacBook with 1TB hdd ; ) In my case it was just a matter of removing the battery and the rest was even easier~In case of MBP, you have to check tutorial for your exact model but feel free to watch this, for example: 1 orangetarts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
