what's going on guys Johnson here with TLD back in action I was getting over a cold last couple of days I'm sure you guys had lots and lots of videogame goodness to keep you guys busy but regardless I am back and I'm bringing you guys the macbook pro upgrade video now I want to do this as in-depth as possible so I'm going to break it into probably three or four videos the first being this one which is an overview telling you guys exactly what I'm doing what I'm using as well as the memory upgrade since that is the easiest part of the whole process now as far as what exactly I'll be doing I'll be upgrading the RAM from 4 gigs up to 8 gigabytes and then I'll be throwing deuces at you with 2 ocz vertex 320 SSDs I'm gonna throw both those in the MacBook Pro put them in RAID hopefully get some awesomely fantastically speedy results now in order to do that time how to remove the optical drive and I'll be using the o WC data doubler to add the second hard drive into there so in terms of videos the second part of this is going to be strictly just a hard drive upgrade for those of you guys who just want to do one not necessarily going to do raid like me but you still want to learn how to do that the third video will consist of actually removing the optical drive installing the second SSD and then setting up the whole raid process now I've seen a few comments from you guys saying that the optical drive on the MacBook Pro is only say 2 to 3 gigabits per second but if you check it out it is indeed in fact say 2 3 6 gigabits per second you guys can see the screenshot right here so we should get some very very tasty speedy results from this raid setup with that being said the first steps of this whole process is upgrading the RAM which is probably the easiest thing you can do to your MacBook Pro first thing you do is make sure the MacBook Pro is powered off then you're going to flip it upside down preferably you want to lay it on something soft like a blanket or towel I didn't do that so don't follow these directions here then there's going to be ten total screws you're going to need to pull out you need a phillips screwdriver as seen here through the magic of video we're gonna fast forward once you get those off we're gonna remove the lid you might need to force it a little bit don't be scared it's not going to break and then from there once everything's exposed we can see the RAM all we're gonna do is pop the old modules out like so then we're going to install the new Ram module so what you're going to do is pop it in there and you're gonna hear a little click that means you put it in there right that's what she said do the same thing for the second module and now you're pretty much done so we're gonna go reverse order put the lid back on put all the screws back in there and the last step you want to do is boot up and go to the system in focus make sure that the round post if it didn't you can open it up just make sure it's installed there correctly but more than likely it should be okay so that wraps it up hopefully you guys enjoyed this video if you haven't done so already feel free to subscribe for my current subscribers if you guys feel like being awesome make sure to hit that like button I have links to everything that I use in this video in case you guys are interested in purchasing it yourselves aside from that if you guys miss it the GTA 5 trailer was released yesterday so go and check out our first impressions on that I know a lot of you guys are excited for this game so make sure to check out that video right here and I will see you guys tomorrow
