How to Remove an Apple Mac Hard Drive (9 Steps)


Back up all of your data. Before attempting to remove your existing hard drive, it is essential to save all of your data.
Shut down your computer and let it cool for 30 minutes. You will not want to attempt to remove a hard drive that has been running because the internal components may be too hot to handle.
Unplug all cords from the laptop, including the power source.
Turn the computer upside down and lay it on the soft lint-free cloth.
Release the battery hatch by taking a coin and turning it counterclockwise. The battery should pop right out.
Touch the metal surface underneath the battery. This will discharge any static charge and is extremely important to do before proceeding.
Remove the three screws along the RAM door. These are located on north side of the RAM door.
Remove the RAM door, an L-shaped bracket, that you previously loosened.
Unroll the hard drive pull tab. You will see a white tab that looks like tape. Pull it slowly to remove the hard drive.
