Introduzione

Durante la sostituzione del disco rigido, occorre trasferire le viti Torx dalla vecchia alla nuova unità.

    • Con il case chiuso, posizionare l'Unibody capovolto su una superficie piatta.

    • Premere il lato scanalato della chiusura di sgancio dello sportello di accesso, affinché sia possibile prendere l'estremità libera con le mani. Sollevare la chiusura di sgancio finché non è in posizione verticale.

    This is not a a1278 unibody MacBook Pro. A1278 MacBooks backs are one solid metal piece not two separate pieces. This guide is for a different MacBook Pro.

    This guide isn’t for a pro; it’s a MacBook unibody.

    So, it turns out that Apple used the model code A1278 for quite a few different Mac models, including both Pro and non-Pro versions! This guide is for the non-Pro Macbooks. There’s also one for the Pro models with the same A1278 identifier.

    • Adesso, lo sportello di accesso dovrebbe essere abbastanza rialzato per sollevarlo e rimuoverlo dall'Unibody.

    • Verificare che la chiusura di sgancio dello sportello di accesso sia in posizione verticale prima di procedere.

    • Prendere la linguetta di plastica bianca ed estrarre la batteria, rimuovendola dall'Unibody.

    Great tutorial ! great step !

    Even though it’s specifically stated, you have to make sure the access door latch is vertical or the battery won’t be removable.

    • Rimuovere la vite con testa a croce che fissa la staffa del disco rigido al case superiore.

    • Questa vite resta nella staffa del disco rigido.

    My Phillips #00 screwdriver does not fit here. In fact, I´ve tried every Phillips screwdriver I have. Nothing fits. I am losing my mind trying to get that screw out.

    Turns out I have a stripped screw...

    Glenn Gukild -

    My drive screw head was pre-stripped. I had to drill through it to remove the drive bracket. Any idea what the specification of this screw is? It appears to be around 12mm long and 1.5mm diameter but M1.5 does not appear to exist.

    Here my screw head is worn out. Thinking of drilling it myself as well. Not happy ☹️ Any tips to the rescue to solve this without drilling?

    • Sollevare il disco rigido mediante la linguetta affinché sia possibile prendere e rimuovere la staffa di fissaggio.

    • Sollevare il disco rigido dal case, ricordando che è ancora collegato al computer tramite il cavo.

    • Scollegare il disco rigido dal cavo, estraendo il relativo connettore direttamente dall'unità.

    Is this SATA 1, 2 or 3? I'm buying a SSD and am wondering if it would take advantage of Sata 3.

    Eugene -

    I'm also considering an SSD, any help with this question?

    I did some some looking around for specs at everymac.com and I came up with this.

    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ma...

    From the link there it says the SATA interface is 3Gb/s, which would be SATA II.

    As for whether or not an SSD is worth it on SATA II, I found a Tom's Hardware article which explains the problem a little bit more.

    Hope this helps!

    • Rimuovere i quattro punti di fissaggio Torx T6 da 6,0 mm dai lati del disco rigido.

    • Trasferire queste viti nel nuovo SSD.

    • Facoltativamente, trasferire la linguetta nel nuovo disco rigido.

Conclusione

Per riassemblare il dispositivo, seguire queste istruzioni in ordine inverso.

just to be save a quick .. use super duper first on your new hdd to clone the old one... (if possible) and after installing... its like you have the same drive... no loss of files.... easy does it!

Britt -

Very easy and worth the upgrade

Ivan Juarez -

The model A1278 in front of me doesn't look like the above. It has 10 screws holding a single piece base onto the body, and not a single quick-release catch in sight. The battery bay looks different as well, but removing the HDD is just as easy.

That is because you are looking at a MacBook Pro A1278, not the MacBook Unibody. Apple made the regular MacBook in an aluminum enclosure in 2008 and the following aluminum model was changed to be called the MacBook Pro.

My hard drive bracket center screw is damaged. I can’t screw it out. Does anyone know how to get the screw out and where I can buy a new bracket center screw?
