Upgrade the Hard Drive
Your Mac Pro comes with a single internal hard drive, which is mounted over one of the
graphics cards. The hard drive is held in place by a single screw, so you can easily replace it
with another drive if you require more capacity. See the tip in this section to learn what type
of drive you should purchase. Remember that you will need to restore your system from a
backup after installing the new drive; see Chapter 17 .
Upgrade the Hard Drive
Turn off and unplug Mac Pro, remove the case, and touch something metal to
ground yourself.
Note: See the section “ Remove the Mac Pro Case for the details on taking off the case.
Orient Mac Pro so that the hard drive is facing you.
Using a T8 Torx driver, remove the screw that holds the hard drive in place.
