Thank you very much for this guide. The whole process is easier than expected.

That guide just saved my Macbook Pro. The disk, when installed at its regular place, was not working anymore (read-only somehow, or completely invisible) while it was perfectly working when connected through USB. So I'm not using this as a second disk but as my primary disk and it's working nicely. Ok, it may sound as if it is the beginning of the end for my late 2011 Macbook Pro, but this gives me time to be able to afford a replacement. Thanks!

Did you try to replace the hard drive cable? MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Late 2011 Hard Drive Cable Replacement

This was likely the problem of the logic board not recognizing your hard drive in its original location.

Mathieu Boudreau -

I followed the above guide and now have an additional 500Gb disk space. Winning!

FYI - you don't have to remove all those camera cables, you can push them aside carefully and still get to the screw underneath.

Thanks for the guide - it worked flawlessly

I placed old hard drive in “optiBay” enclosure and Samsung 840 EVO 120GB instead of main hard drive.

I had data backup done earlier, so I opted in for complete wipe/format - booted into recovery mode - installed fresh OS, I’m keeping my OS and apps on the SSD and home folder on HDD. It boots up very fast, apps are starting up like crazy
