[QUOTE="apotratz, post: 1626271, member: 339345"] I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro and I'm looking to replace the optical drive with an 1TB HDD or SSD (if I can afford it) and upgrade my RAM to 16Gb. I've replaced RAM and HDD's on my other old Macbook and I've seen a few videos on how to open my Macbook Pro which has the unibody design, so I'm fairly confident that I won't screw up an install. I'm just having trouble figuring out what brand/type of HHD/SSD I'll actually be able to use in my Macbook. Any suggestions or advice would be very much appreciated. My comp specs are below. Thanks in advance. Processor Name: Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 3 MB Memory: 4 GB [/QUOTE]
