Macbook Pro (early 2008) – Hard Drive install

When I first received my Macbook Pro 17″, I knew that it’s hard drive would be inadequate for my needs. So I decided to put a 500 Gb hard drive in it.

This video shows how I put a Hitatchi 5K500 in my 2008 Macbook Pro 17″. For information on the drive I used, you can go to it’s product page by clicking HERE.
