This tutorial is excellent but has the final step missing: how to replug the SATA connector given that it is stuck under the storage bay.
I had to unscrew the storage bay to be able to replug the SATA connector and follow the tutorial in reverse to finish it.
Don't try to remove the left speaker as it requires to remove the CPU fan first which adds extra steps to the process.
The most difficult part of the whole process was connecting the new HD to the connector (even if not stuck under the bay). There's not enough slack in the connector's cabling to allow use of one's fingers. It took me 20 minutes and the use of a couple of wooden popsicle sticks and a spudger to eventually nudge it in place. Otherwise, great tutorial Adam O'Camb!
