Replace hard drive on A1278 mid 2012 MacBook Pro
Delivery in good time. A day later I ordered the cable to go with it and they both arrived a day later... superb. Has improved the performance of my MPro so well worth the effort. Apple certainly don’t make it easy for an amateur to change items within the MPro.
