hi dave taylor here again and in the
0:06
spirit of revive your computer this time
0:08
we're going to look at an old macbook
0:10
and what we're going to do is we're
0:11
going to take the old original apple
0:13
hard drive out and we're going to
0:15
replace it with a super fast kingston
0:42
all right we got our 256 gig ssd drive
0:46
very nice let's just go ahead and put
0:48
that aside and for this one it's pretty
0:51
easy just go ahead and
0:53
different computers work differently but
0:55
this particular mac i just need a coin
0:58
to unlock the battery
1:00
pop the battery out usually it pops out
1:03
pretty easily there we go
1:08
there are three screws you have to undo
1:12
and once you've done that i've
1:14
sort of pre-unscrewed them so once
1:17
you've done that let's just get this one
1:22
this whole metal strip pops out
1:27
so you just pull the drive out
1:31
this is it this is the western digital
1:33
hard drive physical hard drive and
1:36
this is the kingston drive so flip them
1:41
you can see the pin mechanism is all the
1:44
what i'm going to need to do however is
1:47
i'm going to need to actually take this
1:48
metal part off and i'm going to have to
1:51
put it on that so let me just do that
1:53
real quick give me a second and we'll
1:57
a little bit of fiddling later and you
1:59
can see we have the kingston
2:02
ssd drive in the little carrier with the
2:06
and all we have to do now is slide it
2:09
let's see it goes easy enough
2:12
you want to push it in until you can
2:14
feel it connects with things
2:17
and i push the tab underneath put this
2:20
guy back in remember the little metal
2:22
all right three screws later all we have
2:24
to do is now put the battery back in and
2:31
and of course you wanna
2:33
close it again we'll put this aside
2:37
so that's all there is to it really not
2:39
very hard the longest part of the whole
2:41
process was copying data from the old
2:43
drive to the new drive and that was
2:45
something i did and just let it run
2:47
while i was doing some other stuff so
2:49
super easy and it's made a huge
2:51
difference in the performance of this
2:53
computer and if your computer's running
2:55
off an old physical drive you really
2:57
should look into an ssd because it's a
2:59
great way to revive your computer and
3:01
there's no better place to get an ssd
3:03
drive than from kingston
