A quick and simple way to set up fast Time Machine backups on your Mac Pro, or more storage for all those Bleeding Edge episodes you’ve been downloading, is to add in more hard drives. Thankfully, Apple has made the upgrade path to accomplishing this super simple. In this episode, we show you the step-by-step process that is takes to install a new hard drive in your Mac Pro in under 5 minutes. All you need is a Mac Pro, a Philips screwdriver, and a SATA hard drive. Oh, and of course a few minutes of spare time. It really is that easy. Hit up the video for the proof, and let us know what you think.
A big thank you goes out to HP for sponsoring this episode.

Man, if only it was that easy to upgrade the hard drives on all computers! It’s hard to get the case off of my computer and then put it back together. I haven’t ever tried it because it’s not built to be taken apart. I wish I could do this with my PC!
I’m a big fan of apple. And the ease of use and ease of upgrading is the reason that I am a fan of apple. I have a G4 duo core and getting inside and doing many upgrades are as simple as this video makes it look.
looks easy enough, is it even easier with a PC? there no wires to connect, that Computer is one nice rig.
ya its more easy than greasy, otherwise with other devices, hands get dirty. lol. But this video is for those who have macs , Unfortunately i have not.
It’s like the HP Blackbird, how you can simply get a SATA hard drive and stick into the slot. This requires a little bit of screwing. All cases/computers should have this feature!
Wow, that was way less than 5 minutes, more like at 2:32 in it was finished (and thats including the intro)! I was always under the impression that Macs were a lot harder to upgrade than PCs (and less customizable) but I was just proven wrong…
