Flip that door’s tab, remove the cover, remove the battery, and the hard drive is ready to be plucked. Or even a 1TB drive (make sure it's a 9.5mm version). The hard drive is hidden underneath the battery access door. The best thing here is to locate an older drive (SATA II) or make sure the drive you plan to get has a compatibility jumper and the supplier give you the needed jumper to lower the the SATA speed.Īnd, yes you can put a 500GB drive in. While they may appear to work the I/O difference will cause errors and will overheat your system as your system works overly hard to correct the errors (overheating it).
Sorry to say these drives are too fast for your system. The only real issue will be the SATA interface speed. As you can see your limits of the OS are well beyond what your system can physically hold. The OS will not be your limiting factor Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) volume & file limits. I also manage to take out the cd optical drive and replace it with the extra 320GB Toshiba hard disk drive to use as my secondary storage on mac. Your system supports 2.5" drive that is 9.5mm in height. But the physical size of the drive must fit within your system. Got this MacBook from a friend so I could do some iOS programming but it’s too old and doesn’t support Xcode anymore. Today you can find very large SATA drives (4TB). Your system has a SATA II (3 Gb/s) interface which can support any SATA I or II HD.
