#MACBOOK PRO 13 HARD DRIVE UPGRADE 2012 PLUS#

And here is the iFixit tutorial that will tell you exactly what you need to do.

I will say that there are some precision toolkits that you can buy that have all of these things (the spudger, Phillips 00 and T6 Torx) that might be cheaper than buying them individually.

A spudger (iFixit recommends using one of these to detach the battery I used my fingers, but a spudger would have been easier).

A T6 Torx Screwdriver (for removing the retaining posts).

A Phillips 00 screwdriver (for taking the screws out of the bottom of your MacBook Pro).

The best part is I can throw my old hard drive in it once I wipe it, and then I have a very small, portable, external hard drive. I went with the Sabrent Aluminum Enclosure, which I really liked. I hadn’t used this before, but this was super handy for doing the upgrade. They’ve made both computers I’ve used them in operate so much faster. These drives are amazing and I haven’t had any problems with them.

I would recommend the Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive. But first, here are the things you’ll be needing: I physically replaced the hard drive in about 5 minutes, but the prep work to get the drive ready took a bit longer than that. I did this back in 2010 with my late-2008 model MacBook Pro, and it worked so well, I figured I would follow a similar process to upgrade the hard drive on my mid-2012 model MacBook Pro. So I figured it was time to upgrade my hard drive on my MacBook Pro.

I then realized that with all of the photos/videos I take of Caleb, plus the movies and tv shows I download…I only had about 30GB left on the 750GB drive that came with the laptop. Kind of a disappointment because it is only a mid-2012 model, and I’m hoping to get a year or two more out of it.

About a month ago my MacBook Pro started to really slow down.
