My wife and I have a 2006 vintage MacBook and MacBook Pro. My MBP fell victim to glass of red wine spilled into it's innards and her MB is dying. The hard drives in both machines are good and I would like to pick up a used MBP ( 2010 0r 2011s are in my price range ) and install these drives in it as there is lots of requirement to still utilize them.
I understand that I can buy an adapter that will let me fit one of the drives into the optical drive bay once it is removed.
Does anyone have any input into any possible pitfalls that might be involved with this idea. Is it doable with any type of MBP from the model years I mention or should I be avoiding anything in particular?
I've acquired a used Mac Mini that is now my everyday machine and so my wife primarily would be using the new MBP a shed principal machine and I would access my old drive that's on it occasionally.
Thanks in advance for any help with this ~ Peter
