Replaced Optical Drive with 1TB HD, mac continually not respondin.WTD?
Hi, hi have a unibody macbook pro late 2011 (model nomber A1286). i recently replaced the optical bay with a 1TB hard disk. I also upgraded to maveriks, and my computer keep not responding (when i use the finder, disk utility etc.) and also sometimes doesn't recognize the hard disk installed instead of the optical drive.
I used your guide (which is excellent BTW), but when i reached step 8, i stripped one of the screws and had to cut the plastic/metal in order to diconnect the bluetooth.
(i didn't cut any of the cables...
Can you help me figure out how to fix this problem?
Should i downgrade to Mac Mountain Lion OS X?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

HI Dan, thanks for your help.
The HD Model is "Seagate Momentus Laptop HDD 1 TB SATA-300"

Is this model compatible?
I used the link you provided, and it seems my EFI firmware is up to date.
Will try your suggestion (i have a USB case).
Thanks again

Just saw that my HD is 6Gb/s, can i do anything to make it work?
Also, i'd really appreciate it if you can tell me which HD model is fully compatible in the optical bay..
Thank you

Unless the drive has a means to slow the I/O speed to SATA II (3 Gb/s) there is no other possible solution here within the optical drive location internally.

Oh, i see. Does that it mean no other HD would be compatible?
