Well, actually, it was much easier than I thought.
The only problem about this is that the hard drive temperature sensor cable. Even I bought the same brand HD, it still doesn't work. So I have to install fan control to control the fan speed.
But other than that, it works very smooth. The speed is great.
Thanks, ifixit. The home tech toolkit is great and really helpful.
Hi. I wanna know if is mandatory to connect the SSD with enclosure or it's possible to connect directly to SATA cable like on model EMC 2428 that has an third SATA conector free and then fix the SSD to back panel with 3M
Im pretty sure if you want to just mount it with tape that would be perfectly fine. Had mine apart and even thought about it myself before properly mounting it.
2389 doesnt support this. cd player isnt even sata
ty no ty
I just replaced with a 250GB SSD... So yes it does support this.
