Hello, Question about hard drive upgrade on MacBook Pro

[lucky3killer]

I got MBP so recently with 120GB HDD and I need find more info about HDD upgrade, I'm just want upgrade into 200GB or 250GB to make enough room for games from Windows via Bootcamp, plus I don't want USB HDD because of low bandwidth and low transfer rate than SATA does.

Does Apple will offers upgrade the HDD at their store? I don't know about how to upgrade the HDD by myself from MBP because I'm afraid about void the warranty if it does screw up.

You will not void the warranty by doing it yourself. Also, I am not sure what you mean by not wanting a USB HDD? Are you talking about an external enclosure for the old hard drive?

I was means if use USB HDD then would cause longer to load the games due low transfer rate and low bandwidth than SATA does.

I was means if use USB HDD then would cause longer to load the games due low transfer rate and low bandwidth than SATA does.

So, you could get a Firewire 800 SATA drive enclosure and pop a $120 500 gig SATA drive in it. That's what I did. OWC (MacSales) sells SATA enclosures that work over FW400, FW800, USB and eSATA connector.

I'm not even sure they are talking about an enclosure?
