OWC announces 3 TB Data Double kits for MacBooks


Other World Computing's Data Double is a kit for installing a second drive in an Apple laptop. The kit replaces the stock optical drive for either a 2.5-inch SSD or HDD. Wednesday the company announced new options that can boost storage up to 3 TB. That 3TB kit includes two drives, so you would replace the stock HDD on top of installing a second.

Kits are available for Apple's 13-inch MacBook from 2008-2010, 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2009 forward, 15-inch MacBook Pro from 2008 forward, and 17-inch MacBook Pro from 2009 forward. Retina MacBooks are excludes as they lack optical drives.

Pricing is $37.99 for the hardware and then you choose the storage option of your liking. The 3TB kit which includes the mounting bracket, tools and two 1.5 TB drives cost $319.99.
