My friends MBP's hard drive died and is now having to shell out the usual hefty dollar amounts necessary to fix a mac. I recommended buying the HDD and either doing it himself or giving it to a technician someplace else to install. Either way just seems more logical than an apple care tech. doing it. The only thing I am not sure about is what type of hard drive the MBP uses. I'm 99% sure you can buy your own HDD, but I wanted to make sure you didn't have to buy some "apple approved," product. I also recommended he take the opportunity to ditch the 5400 RPM drive for a 7200 RPM drive. Advice???
