What screwdriver should I buy?

[drewdawg]

I'm looking to open the back panel of my early 2011 MacBook Pro (13) because I want to check to see if everything is running smoothly and I will soon be installing an SSD. I need to know what screwdriver I need to use to open the 10 screws on the back panel. Does anyone know of this screwdriver? Any help would be much appreciated!

You also need a Torx 6 to get the screws off the hard drive. When you install a SSD.

You only need the Torx for the superdrive.
The regular HD bay is held with phillips 00.

And if you want to replace the batteries, you need the tri wing screwdriver.

You need it for the HDD, to swap the mounting bolts to new drive. You can remove the HDD without it, but good luck fitting a new HDD securely to case without one.

When I replaced the HD in my MB with the Seagate Momentus Hybrid, I had to use a small Torx to remove the little studs off the side of the HD to reuse on the new HD.

No you are incorrect - If you want to put a SSD drive in correctly you will need a Torx 6 screwdriver.
