After gathering all the necessary information, hopefully, you have made up your mind to replace the hard drive of your MacBook Pro. Now, you have to decide whether you want to fix an SSD or HDD.

Now, place aside the screws carefully so that you don’t lose them. Now, gently open the back cover. 

• Identify the hard drive 

After opening the back cover, you will see a rectangular object attached at certain corners of the device. Observe what is written in the label. You will notice the compatible version of the HDD is written. In case you cannot identify the HDD, call MacBook repair Dubai to get the requisite help. Don’t try to pull out the HDD with sheer force. It is protected by a cover that helps the storage device to hold on to the computer for uninterrupted connection. 

• Eliminate the HDD support temporarily

Now, it is the time to remove the black bar that is responsible for the HDD to stay firm inside the MacBook Pro. You will see two screws attached to it. Unscrew them to open the black HDD support bar. Make sure you open it slowly with the help of a screwdriver. Now, keep the screws and the support item somewhere safe. 

• Remove and replace the storage device

Carefully pick up the hard disk drive and place it by your side. Hopefully, with the help of the advice given by MacBook repair Dubai, you have opted for an SSD. An SSD’s blazing fast performance will never let you face any problems with your computer. Now, unwrap the SSD and place it to its desired place. After that, place the support and tighten it with the screws. 

• Set the Cover 

As you have completed your main operation, you have to finish the task, but re-assembling the other parts. Pick up the back cover and fix it. After that, place the screws to its desired holes and tighten them up with the help of a screw-driver. Make sure that the back cover is property set. 

The Installation of OS

Turn on your MacBook Pro and start the Macintosh installation by following the steps that are prompted on-screen. It will take some time to install the OS. Hopefully, not long enough as you have installed an SSD. 

Your desired expectation from an SSD

After the installation of an SSD, the execution speed of the computer will be just spectacular. As the SSD is smaller in size and lighter in weight, the mobility of the storage device will be beneficial. In some cases, when your computer gets infected with viruses, malfunctions can take place, especially in the storage device. 

But here, SSD will not back you down. You will never face any kind of damage to your personal data. On the other hand, the SSD will also allow you to access the data in your MacBook Pro simultaneously. Your computer will not freeze during the simultaneous operation. 

Lastly…

You need to be more conscious while replacing the storage device. While buying the SSD, make sure you buy a good brand, so that the time span of its service will be more. In case, you are planning to use the HDD as an external drive, then you have to buy a SATA casing from a computer shop. After that fix the HDD in it and use it to store your personal data.
