Somehow I've managed to get by with 320 GB as my HDD since september 2011. How—I don't quite know tbh. I have a couple of 500 GB portable hard drives. But most of my space is occupied by movies in iTunes. I dislike having to plug in a portable hard drive whenever I want to watch a film streamed onto the :apple:TV in the living room.

Unless anyone's got a better idea I guess I'll have to upgrade my Macbook's HDD. Is that possible? And could someone point me to a reliable guide please? Also, if I upgraded the HDD would that void my warranty or something?..
 
You've been a member for a year, how did you not think to search first? The HDD is very easy to upgrade and I believe there's a 2TB HDD available for laptops

It's been a year already? :p

No, seriously, I did have a look curtesy of Google's best. However, I like to ask to see if I've missed anything important.

The point about not voiding the warranty for instance—I read something different on that score in a couple of places.
 
1 TB is the biggest available so far.

BUT you can fit 2 inside your macbook if you remove the ODD. :cool:

Unfortunately I'm not that good with fitting in computer components—well, I'm almost completely new to put it another way. The most I've done is a RAM upgrade on a HP laptop. :eek:
