[QUOTE="M_Six, post: 1504544, member: 298174"] Apple has a few questionable marketing tactics. For instance, you can spec out a Retina MBP with 16GB RAM on their website, but on a non-Retina MBP, it only allows you to spec out 8GB RAM even though it will take 16GB. Almost like they're pushing you to the Retina version if you want more RAM. If you go to [URL="http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=iMac%20%2821.5%20and%2027-inch%2C%20Mid%202011%29&Cat=RAM"]crucial.com[/URL], you can see they sell a 1TB drive for a mid-2011 iMac. They'll have directions for replacing it. Plus there should be no shortage of how-to videos out there. Watch a few and decide if you have the skills to do it yourself. [/QUOTE]
