I read where guys were talking about adding in a hard drive in place of their multi drive and always thought this would be a perfect idea to eliminate the external for simply storage... So I swapped the 2010 Macbook Pro original 250 GB hard drive for a 500 GB WD Blue Scorpio and also placed my Super Drive (cd/dvd burner) in an external enclosure to make room for a 750 GB Seagate Momentous drive. I called to ask a couple questions from the customer service at MCE (more to see how they'd react) and the guy who always answered the phone was both helpful and knowledgeable...although I was able to loose him with drive specs. The instillation was straightforward although the instructions came on a CD-ROM which would have been simpler if they were pre printed. The hard drive enclosure is plastic coated in a non slip rubber. Although the feel of the material is nice, the actual construction is flimsy (though it does feel more secure with the actual drive components installed). There is also no front cover for the cd drive and I feel although the enclosure was listed as "free" this is still pretty awful. But apparently this is a common practice among all of the enclosure companies for the MAC Super Drive. The Super Drive functions just as it did while it was inside the computer after installing one file that was located on the MCE CD-ROM. I have had no issues so far with either drive...and everything went in without any real issues...Im still carrying a copy of my external that is an exact clone (thanks to Carbon Copy Cloner) just in case. I also plan on replacing the 500 GB WD Blue Scorpio with a SSD once the prices stabilize a little bit. Please feel to comment...
