This video explains the process of upgrading the stock MacBook pro hard drive to an SSD. The SSD used in this install is an OCZ Vertex 3. The stock hard drive was moved to the optical drive bay using an optibay style adapter. Here are some more details on the SSD drive —

Quick question: Regarding tools — Where might I pick-up a descent set of Macbook/PC computer tools from locally (as in at a store). Thank you. Your vids are GREAT btw!
Where can I get one of these adapter caddies in Hong Kong?
If you get the right adapter it’ll come with an external housing for your optical drive.
It depends. For tools that are made for computers, try Best Buy. That is where I got mine at. You may also want to try Amazon. Hope this helped 🙂
woow don’t understand it anymore what are you replacing, the harddrive to an SSD, but the hard drive on the place of the..?
this is such of a waste of time/money

Will any SSD be support? SATA 1, 2, and 3 all supported?
I want the retina display and this at the same time but I don’t have the money

Would it work if I were to replace the optical drive with a 1tb Seagate sshd and make install a 1tb ssd to where the hard drive was and add 16gb of ram? how fast would my mac be if its possible?
If i have an SSD in my main bay and an HDD in my optical bay should I disable SMS on my macbook pro? Im getting conflicting information online. Also does SMS even work on drives places in the optical bay?
How to format the HDD that’s in the superdrive place?
could you keep the optical drive and move all of your files to an external hard drive and have only apps on the new ssd?
in your opinion is it better to move the hard drive to where the optical dive is and put your ssd where your hard drive was
Unbox Therapy What model/year is this MacBook Pro?
I just did a similar swap in my Macbook Pro(Mid 2012) but i put the SSD in the optical drive bay. Would the traditional slot be faster in my model as well?
Do you have to get an external disk drive since you replaced the built in one with a hard drive?
Im thinking about getting the vertex 460A. What are you’re thoughts on it?
Does this work with the 13 inch early 2011 MacBook Pro?
👍😍👍
Still here, thanks for the amazing quick videos for doing it yourself.
