hey,
I'm kinda new here. thx for the support  Anyway, my friend told me that we can actually replace our macbook/ macbook pro's superdrive with internal 2.5 SATA HDD Docking. Based on research, The Most Talkabout hardware for that is MCE OptiBay.  But the thing is I dont think there are one in Malaysia, especially lowyat. But if u think I'm wrong, Is there any of that in lowyat, or similar hardware? where and which can I get it and how much is it? I'll be very happy to know it from u guys. thx |

QUOTE(kwekeugene @ Nov 21 2009, 02:17 AM) Take a look at this, it's a cheaper alternative to the Optibay I knew that man.http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=680228&page=19 You do realise you will void your machine's warranty if you replace the optical drive. Something you might want to consider...  Oh anyway, I just heard about the Thinkpad HDD bay from Lenovo, do u think it'll fit inside my mbpro since it has the same size as my internal DVDRW? |

QUOTE(wei @ Nov 22 2009, 12:14 PM) Thanks for the feedback! there are a LOT I've done that on iBook G4, PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro 15", MacBook White. You doesn't need to spend on the overpriced Optibay, just get those on eBay. I can't be sure will the IBM type fit. Pay attention to the height of newer unibody models as they might not fit.  what's your recommendation for a non-unibody 15 Macbook pro? Thx for the help |
