New life in my old mac

For the past few months my macs felt like its on its last legs. This weekend i decided to replace the old knackered 100GB hard drive with a new 500GB one. I wasn’t expecting any changes in performance but the old disk must have slowing down the machine a little, as it now boots up a little quicker.

Either way its a really straight forward process and there a few tutorials on Youtube on how to do it, its not 100% necessary to watch them but if you are uncomfortable with this type of thing I would suggest taking a peak at them. The only thing worth noting is you will need both a Torx T6 screwdriver as well as a normal Phillips screwdriver

The insides were very compact and tidy, next time I build a pc from scratch i’ll try and use some flat ribbon sata cables.

Anyways, now i’ve got a spare 2.5 inch sata drive which I need to put in something. Maybe in an old Gameboy?
