New Hard Drives for MacBook

When I got my first computer, almost a decade ago, my hard drive was 2.1GB in size. At that time, I was able to hold the entire contents of 3 CDs on it! Now, I got a drive that has a storage capacity of 80GB, and although I could store around 15 DVDs or over 100 CDs on it, I feel that I need much more space, compared to the years when I had that old 2.1GB drive and everything was fine, and I am sure that when I'll get a 300GB drive, I'll find myself crying out "I need more space!" in no time...

Notebooks were behind desktops in terms of storage space for a long time, and today things look the same, but that doesn't mean the future will remain unchanged, and MCE Technologies is one of those companies that will take care to change the days to come. Today, this producer began to ship a new version of its OptiBay hard drive that was designed especially for Apple's 13" MacBook and 15" MacBook Pro notebooks.

This device was built to be used as a second internal hard drive for MacBook Pro, MacBook and PowerBook G4 systems and takes the place of your laptop's SuperDrive or Combo Drive. The capacities available go up to 160GB, allowing a total storage space of 360GB for MacBook and MacBook Pro, and 320GB in case you own an older PowerBook G4.

The OptiBay drive has the same dimensions and data connectivity as the standard optical drives, but your machine will recognize it as a standard hard drive, and all the partitioning and additional setup tasks are managed by Apple's Disk Utility application. The prices start at 330$ for the 80GB model, and can go up to 480$ for the 160GB model.
