Corey 1 month ago	I installed the Unibody version in my Unibody i5 MBP, the MacBookPro6,2 model. One, I had to remove the plastic bezel at the front of the drive for it to fit into the laptop. Second, the optical drive has two screw securing it on the top plate, which this unit doesn't have. So, there's only one screw securing the DualDrive sled. Other than that, install wasn't too rough.
Powerbook Medic 1 month ago	@Torrey - Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it works for that model.
Torrey 1 month ago	Hi guys. I just put a 500g @ 7200 in my mbp 17 inch unibody (I have a 128 SSD). Here is my findings, as I hope this helps people as I just dove in on my brand new 3,000$ laptop. Fits ok, but actually doesn't have anything holding it in except the black arm that hangs over the indented part of the drive. (the kind of lower arm part) The 2 MAJOR THINGS ARE THE FOLLOWING... I had to cut/modify the extra plastic piece that powerbookmedic put on the side of the drive. To see just hold the superdrive next to the new drive. You can see the difference is just the 1 inchX 1/4 inch plastic that is overset. Also when placing the drive in I had to use a secondary jewlers screwdriver to wedge it in slightly. Also the drive has some magnetic properties and seemed to fit securely despite the lack of screws. Actually I guess this could be a negative, but the fan is so solid it actually made me feel at piece that the drive wouldn't move. Summery- It works on the new 17inch macbook pro unibody, but be prepared for some slight mods and a few extra original mac screws left over. I hope this helps you guys.
Powerbook Medic 3 months ago	@AJ - We haven't gotten an i7 in the shop yet, but from the pictures we've seen, there shouldn't be a problem, but I can't make any guarantees until we get our test machine.
AJ 3 months ago	Do you have a guide/demo for the latest 15" i7 model? I am thinking about buying one of your dualdrives, but need to make sure I can do the install first.
Powerbook Medic 5 months ago	@Sphinx - You should be able to.
Sphinx 5 months ago	Is it possible to use the dual drive as a second boot drive? To run Windows for example?
Powerbook Medic 5 months ago	@jeremy - yes, your warranty would be voided. yes the HDD will spin down whe not used.
