The OWC Data Doubler gives MacBook/MacBook Pro owners the flexibility to configure their computer's internal drive array to suit their needs: greater overall storage for up to 3.0 TB total capacity; greater data integrity by creating an internal back-up drive; or greater performance by creating a Striped RAID in Disk Utility.

This straight-forward, easy to follow DIY kit lets anybody take their existing MacBook or MacBook Pro and install more and/or faster storage than factory stock. The Data Doubler mounting solution, available for immediate ordering from $37.99, comes complete with the Data Doubler internal drive mount, a detailed step-by-step Mac notebook model-specific installation guide, and a five-piece toolkit. Special Bundles, that also include up to two drives and up to 3.0TB of capacity, are available from $89.00. Easy to follow, OWC 'How To' videos are also available online. The OWC Data Doubler is available for Apple MacBook and MacBook Pro models, which include the following:

• Apple MacBook 13" 2008 to 2010
• Apple MacBook Pro 13" models 2009 and later (excluding 13" w/Retina)
• Apple MacBook Pro 15" models 2008 and later (excluding 15" w/Retina)

Here’s a sample of what thousands of OWC Data Doubler users have said:

"I've never found an adapter like the OWC Data Doubler that adds another hard drive to a laptop before. OWC has it going on! The OWC Data Doubler is awesome -- easy to install with instructions and tools -- a great product, and the only one on the market!"Robin D. - Union City, CA

"First of all, if you are thinking of doing a swap to an SSD... stop thinking and do it. The performance gains are awesome. I've used other converters as well, but the OWC kit is a step above. More care went into the engineering and the fit in the computer and for the drive are more precise. Plus having the right tools included is great."Brock Rumer – Chicago, IL

Let nothing go to waste:
After purchasing a new OWC Data Doubler DIY Kit, the internal "SuperDrive" can be re-purposed as an external optical drive with the OWC SuperSlim USB 2.0 enclosure, available at a discounted price of $19.00 when purchased with Data Doubler. This lightweight, USB 2.0 bus-powered enclosure is the ideal solution for MacBook and MacBook Pro owners installing an OWC Data Doubler DIY Kit. At the same time, while enjoying up to an additional capacity in the re-purposed optical drive bay, users can install the replaced Apple® SuperDrive® into the OWC SuperSlim enclosure to create a fully bootable, external Plug and Play CD and DVD burning/playing solution.

"Our Data Doubler Kits enable anyone to add new levels of storage capacity, performance and reliability that are simply unavailable from factory models," said Larry O’Connor, founder and CEO of Other World Computing. "By adding a second hard drive and replacing your current internal drive you can now have up to 3.0TB (up to 3X Factory Option) of storage capacity for your MacBook or MacBook Pro."
