I picked up a second internal (SATA 3.0Gbps) drive for my Mac Pro and popped it in yesterday. After working on probably hundreds—if not thousands—of desktop PCs in my past across various jobs and the personal machines I used to build, I have to say this is the greatest experience I’ve ever had inside a desktop. Granted, The Mac Pro may not be quite as hackable as a beige box in a few respects (due in part to sensitive areas being blocked off with metal enclosures), but this hard drive installation experience was so enjoyable I had to create a video.
Apple pays a lot of attention to the little details, and the pleasantly accessible construction of the Mac Pro is a great example of how that effort pays off.
