Upgrading your Mac Pro’s Hard Drive – the inexpensive way
by pabs on 17/04/2010
I found a cheapest way to upgrade your Mac Pro’s Hard Drive. Here in the UAE, 1TB Western Digital external HD cost only AED359 ($97.5), compared to an internal HD from Apple store will cost you about AED1,600 ($434.8). Luckily, this external HD is compatible with Mac Pro’s Hard Drive Bay. So, without further ado, here’s how you open a Western Digital Hard Drive and use it on your Mac Pro.
Remove the two rubbers located under the External Hard Drive
Underneath the rubber, there will be a lock. Using a flat screwdriver, apply a small amount of pressure to release the front plastic casing to its back.
Remove the plastic cover
Remove the motherboard
Remove every screw you will find.
You can keep the motherboard for troubleshooting other SATA hard drives, so don’t throw this away.
