did you install it yourself< what's the degree of difficulty for a tech dummy like myself?

I did, very easy. You do want the mini screwdriver if you don't have it. I did not buy a formatted disk so Apple Genius helped me with that part.

I did install myself. I am not a computer wiz, but just know some basics. I think it is fairly easy. After installing, I copied my startup to this drive and told my computer to use this hard drive to start up. It worked and has worked ever since.

I installed my Apple 1TB drive in my Mac Pro. I suspected my primary drive was failing, so I moved it to bay 3. Then I put the new drive in bay 1. I had not installed a drive in a Mac tower for about 6 years, but I found instructions on the web that made each step extremely easy to carry out. Time from start (unplugging Mac), through installation of drive and some more memory, to power on was 1/2 hour. My OS X on the old drive was circa 2011, so I did a fresh install of a updated version of OS X on the new drive and transferred personal information from the old drive. The system upgrade was more difficult and time-consuming than the physical installation of the drive. I installed my Apple 1TB drive in my Mac Pro.

If your seriously challenged by hardware components, you may want to consider someone doing this for you. If you have basic know how, you'll probably be fine. Id suggest having proper equipment "mini screwdriver" before starting. Not something that "might work"..

Yes, it is very easy. You can go on youtube to see a video on how to install a internal hard drive.

I didn't have any trouble. If you read before you install things first you should be OK.

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

I had mine professionally installed, but after installation, there is a setup wizard that walks you through the setup very simply.

I installed it myself. Just have to remember the wires you pull off the old board need to go on the same name tag on the new board.

I paid someone to do the installation. But for someone who knows about installation, it wouldn't be so difficult

yes. This was helpful for me to get an idea of the installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqAEehcxuz8

I am not sure what your question is. I followed the directions and installed it myself.

No, I didn´t. I bought this as a replacement (different model and label) I didn´t have to buy anything to install it.

No offense, none at all, but just by reading your question I would not recommend you purchasing this without having someone tech savvy to help you install it for you. However, the answer is yes.

There is a Youtube demonstration I used. It would be better to watch it then try to explain. It only took about 10 minutes to install. Good luck.

We called several types of professionals (electricians, appliance repair, handyman, etc) and couldn't get anyone to install it. We were replacing one a handyman put in about 10+ prior so we just did it ourselves. It was not too hard as we had the prior one to model the install/wiring after. I don't think we could have done it if it was a new install.

I really can't answer that but I can tell you there is absolutely no tech support for self installation. I like Bull Dog better.
