  • MacBook Pro 17" Unibody Teardown

    Quote from AcD:

    Would it be possible to replace the annoying slot-in superdrive with another SATA storage device (say, a 500GB HDD) ?

    - Would there be enough headroom (9.5mm or better) ?

    - What connector/part to use ? Would the existing SuperDrive connector fit a SSD or HDD ?

    - How challenging would it be to secure a 2.5" mass storage device in the SuperDrive emplacement ?

    Thanks for any help with this, I'm about to buy one of those laptops, and my experience with slot-in drives encourages me to consider alternative uses for that wasted space in the shell. :)

    Come to think of it... an extra fan in there couldn't hurt: I'm told the 9600GT tends to run hot, and I'm going for the 2.93GHz version of the processor.
