Macfixit Data Doubler - Optibay Hard Drive/SSD Mounting Solution - 9.5mm Reviews

4.8 Rating 15 Reviews
Even though the installation guide was sparse, installation was easy once I'd taken the time to look at everything closely and review all the steps from the ifixit guide. The macfixit data doubler works as expected and I'm very satisfied with the result. My macbook pro has a fault on the hdd sata, so rather than use this as a data doubler, I've moved my only hard drive into the optibay and once again my macbook lives. There's also been some small but noticeable benefit from being a little lighter and I hope for a noticeable battery gain, but not holding my breath on that one.

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for shopping with us! We're very happy to have you as a customer. My name is Robert, I am the owner of Macfixit Australia and I was hoping that if you had a little more time and if it was not too much trouble perhaps you could also leave a note of your positive experience under the Product Reviews webpage for us as well. We find that unless we ask our customers, we very rarely have any positive notes left under the Product Reviews page and it certainly helps other potential customers in the decision making to determine if they should purchase from us. If you left your positive note I would very much appreciate it. Please find the link to the Product Reviews website under the link below: http://www.productreview.com.au/p/macfixit-australia.html Thank you for your time and we hope to see you in our store again soon.

Took out the original HDD from a MBP 17", put in a SSD and put the original in the data-doubler. Had no issues. Quality construction and all needed tools supplied.

Works great...relatively easy to install with no problems. Replaced the CD drive in my 2011 Macbook Pro with a 1TB 2.5" HDD. Nice.

I had bought the wrong item which didn't fit into my laptop. Macfixit organised an on-the-spot changeover so I had no further delays. I thought I needed a more expensive item, but they told me I didn't. The unit worked and is working perfectly. I'm not a new customer of Macfixit, and won't hesitate to go to them again.
