I own a mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro. I never use the optical drive, so I would like to get rid of it all together. Mostly to lose weight. Can I safely remove the optical drive without putting a replacement drive/hdd in place? Or must this space by some means be occupied by a device? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards, K11h
You can remove it and leave the space without any issues.
