30 minutes - 2 hours

Moderate

My Problem

Existing 250 GB HDD filling up, and feeling sluggish.

My Fix

Repair couldn't have gone more swimmingly. All the tools to hand, and the instructions simple enough for an idiot (ie. me) to follow. Boot-up a little tense, but needn't have worried.

My Advice

Ok I needed a bit more space, but blown away by the speed increase. Never realised the HDD was such a bottleneck on my system. Should have done it ages ago. Make sure you buy the external adaptor to clone the drive before fitting it and you'll be whizzing along in no time. Oh and amazingly speedy delivery from iFixit (and I live on a remote Scottish island).
