How to clone and upgrade your hard drive - Super Duper

August 23, 2009 - 6:35 am 25 Comments

In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to upgrade your hard drive via cloning through a program called super duper. This will backup everything including your Macintosh HD. It will not backup your windows partition (BOOTCAMP)

For this tutorial, you only need the free version of super duper. No need to purchase the full version. (i do recommend purchasing the full version - This software is awesome)

You will also need an external enclosure to work with your new hard drive. Please look at my previous tutorial how to know which external enclosure you need to purcahse. Heres the link

Run Super Duper. Copy your existing hard drive in your mac, to your new external hard drive you made (the drive containing your hd upgrade) .

Takes about an hour and a half to two hours for the copying process.From there, swap the hard drives, Consult your mac manual how to remove and install your hard drive. Turn on your computer and thats it.

Q&A: Recommendations On An External Hard Drive

July 9, 2009 - 4:23 am 20 Comments

In this video, I answer a question from Ahamad Clay regarding external Hard Drives. My recommendation to him was to invest in a external USB/Firewire/eSATA enclosure. You can now get a 1TB internal hard from newegg for $88 http://bit.ly/HFpdk . This enables you to invest in cheaper storage options in the future because you are able to put any internal hard-drive in it. Thanks to Ahamad Clay for the question.

What’s the Best Hard Drive Enclosure to Buy?

July 3, 2009 - 9:24 am 25 Comments

http://go.tagjag.com/nexstar - A few days ago, I heard whimpering from my closet. I thought one of the dogs had been stuck inside there. Low and behold, it was an old hard drive whining to be used once again. However, I needed an enclosure to put it in! When I had the opportunity to look at the NexStar 3 from Vantec, I jumped on it! http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

How Can You Connect SATA Hard Drives without an Enclosure?

July 3, 2009 - 9:24 am 25 Comments

live.pirillo.com - geeks.pirillo.com - I have a hard drive without an enclosure, and I don’t really have any extra enclosures. I need to get to the data that is on this hard drive. I either need to buy an enclosure to put it into just long enough to access my data. Or… is there another way I can get access to the information on the hard drive without putting it into an enclosure?
