MacDaddy Storage Upgrades

I love my MacBook. In all reality, it’s still @justinshattuck’s MacBook, but I’ve actually had it for over a year.

He’s a great guy to give his buddy one of his MacBook’s that he wasn’t using…especially since at that time I wasn’t a Mac enthusiast. That all changed last February when I got a call from @justinshattuck that he wanted me to come over and look at some stuff we were going to be starting to work on. During the course of this conversation, I was offered this glorious piece of hardware and absolutely fell in love with it.

Now I understand what Mac enthusiasts have claimed all along…there’s just nothing that compares to using a Mac. It’s sleek, its sexy, it works (almost ALL of the time) without reboots, memory leaks, etc… It just works!

I will admit it was hard making the switch after being a career-long PC user, but after about a week or two…there was no turning back.

After just a few months, I ran into a problem with the MacBook. It had a small hard drive. It was only 60GB, and that’s not near enough for a digital packrat like myself. After suffering long months, and constantly moving things back-and-forth to make enough space to do whatever it was I needed space to do…I finally sprung for a new hard drive. Luckily, these are easy to swap out.

I’ve got instructions & pictures of how to swap out a MacBook hard drive after the jump.
