Here's a screenshot of my MacBook Pro after took the HDD out of the Passport and installed it into the laptop. It tookall about 20min from the beginning to end. I'm talking about from the very beginning when I started to take the Passport case apart and taking the HDD out, to opening the laptop up removing the current HDD and putting the new one in and putting everything back together and booting it up!

so it's opened now? how about dropping the price?

The bare drive new is only $150 shipped and the drive with the enclosure new is only $160 shipped. I'm not trying to be a drag on your sale, but how about being honest with the buyers.

No it is not opened. It is brand new, still sealed in its packaging...


mduell - I am basing the pricing off my search online at bestbuy and the likes. There was even a discussion about it in a thread and the members even recommended buying the passport because it was cheaper. If you do a search under my name, you can find that thread. I'm not trying to mislead in anyway. If the price has changed since a few weeks ago, then I'm sorry for misinforming.

I'm confused. How did you install it in your laptop?

Logic dictates you had to open the packaging of the drive to do that, so it's no longer "sealed", at least not by the factory?

this is the question.
will it work on any mbp? (late 2006 for example)
please respond I can get it on amazon new for $156.

It would also be called an assumption when you jump to such conclusion. I had two drives personally, one never opened.

now come on dude, you post one for sale, then you say

Here's a screenshot of my MacBook Pro after took the HDD out of the Passport and installed it into the laptop

You use of the phrase "the HDD" indicates you are referring to the drive for sale. You make no reference to another drive, and there was no reassuring that you hadn't opened this one (until 2 days later). What is someone supposed to think?


As a side note, regarding the

CD with a cloning software

that you'll include. What software is this? Is it not something that comes with the drive? Whatever it is, hopefully it's a legit copy.

Please re-read my post again. Doesn't seem like you're interested in purchase anyways, isn't it better to concentrate your time elsewhere? The cloning software is a freeware if you must know.
