[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1809879, member: 204485"] usagora, dont feel bad it's never happened to me either and I've been using (and sharing) Mac's since the 1980's. Thats because I have always had the presence of mind to upgrade before it happened and obviously I've had luck on my side. Nowadays I'm prepared to push the limits a little further because of bootable clones. My wife's 2011 MBP did suffer a drive failure about two years ago but we were able to run it from a clone until she got a replacement drive. She now has a new 2018 MBP but only because the old one was getting too slow for current programs and we weren't willing to invest in a RAM upgrade. Upgrading to the Retina screen was an consideration too. Thanks for the idea though. I had been thinking about "bare" drives for a while but I had no idea the docks were so cheap. [/QUOTE]
