I have just bought the 2.6ghz version of the macbook pro with a 750GB HDD and i was wondering if it is possible to replace the HDD with an aftermarket SSD preferably 250GB to 500GB. I know it is possible to remove the superdrive and put in a second SSD but i use the superdrive quite often.
Is this a good question?

Yes, it is very easy to install an SSD. Most 2.5" SSD drives will fit and work in your MacBook Pro. You can buy and one of these SSD drives from this link:

Some are upgrade kits and others are external dries so make sure you are getting a SSD and not and external drive. This guide will work for your device:

I do not think that you will need pentalobe screws so you should check the screws on the bottom of your laptop.
Hope this Helps.

Just use the screws from the magnetic HDD you are replacing, because the SSD drive will need to sit inside the MacBooks HDD chassis mount.

The title says mac pro but the question is about macbook pro, please note that there is a mac pro unit which is totally different from macbook pro. Please clear up this ambiguity if possible.
