Product Description
Add up to an additional 2.0TB of internal storage. Add a Solid State Drive (SSD) for near-instantaneous boot and app load. Even create a RAID array! Includes bracket, 5 piece toolkit, screws, and detailed installation guide for complete all in one solution.
Configuration flexibility is yours when you replace your MacBook or MacBook Pro's internal SuperDrive with the OWC Data Doubler.

Installed drives are recognized like any other high-speed SATA storage device and can be set up and partitioned using the Apple Disk Utility Program.

Notes
- Using this product with 6Gb/s SSDs in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro (Non-Retina):
- MAIN BAY: A 6G SSD may be utilized in the main bay (move drive or second SSD into Optical Bay) for reliable SATA Revision 3.0 6Gb/s performance in excess of 500MB/s.
- OPTICAL BAY: Testing has demonstrated that Apple factory hardware does not reliably support a 6G (6Gb/s) Solid State Drive or Hard Disk Drive in the optical bay of 2011 and 2012 MacBook Pros (Model ID 8,1; 8,2; 8,3; 9,1; 9,2). If your OWC Data Doubler bundle comes with a 6G drive, you should ONLY install that drive in the main drive bay and utilize the Data Doubler to re-task your existing drive or install a new 3G SSD or HDD in the optical bay. PRE-2011 models can utilize a 6G drive in the optical bay, but will do so at a reduced 3G (3Gb/s) speed.
- MacBook Pro 13-inch models: Apple does not support the use of 6Gb/s drives in the optical bay. While we have observed a high rate of success using SATA 3.0 6Gb/s drives in Apple 13-inch bays where 6Gb/s link is present, some systems may not operate properly with this setup. For guaranteed reliability/compatibility, we suggest 6Gb/s drives be used in the main drive bay only, and 3Gb/s hard drives or SSDs be used in the optical bay when a two-drive configuration is desired. We cannot guarantee proper or successful 6Gb/s drive operation in the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch optical bay.
- Apple's DVD Player application: Only works with an internal optical drive or Apple's external SuperDrive. To play DVDs with your removed optical drive after installing it in an external enclosure such as the OWC SuperSlim, we recommend the free VLC Player.
