Two of my late 2009 MacBooks were very slow. So I decided replace hard drives with SSDs. Then I realized that I don't really use the optical drives and I could replace those with the old hard drives.

The instructions to replace optical drives with unibody dual hard drives were excellent and very easy to follow.

For the second macbook I skipped the step 10 because it was challenging to reconnect the tiny speaker wire connector.
