Sure. Any 2.5' SSD drive fits, just replace your HD with it, install MacOS, and run!

It worked in my Mid 2009 13" MacBook Pro. I know that's not exactly what you are asking, but maybe it will help.

This will be a great investment. I actually bought 2 for my Macbook Pro late 2011 17". I didnt have any use for the CD ROM so got a caddy to mount one of the drives. As it stands one of the SSDs is used as the system boot drive and the next to store media files (Photos and videos). I moved from a boot time of almost 2 minutes to 12-15 seconds, applications now load much faster. I think you will enjoy your purchase.

I own a 15" mid 2012 MBP and it works fine. I feel that it shouldn't give you a problem.

I do not what to say about the drive, i installed the drive in my laptop and in less than a month the drive failed.I had to reformat and install everything again. Now the drive is apparently working fine.I'll wait a bit longer before I conclude my opinion in this matter.

sorry not to answer your question directly but be I wanted to warn you that this drive only lasted 10 months before dying when installed on a macbook pro 2010 model. if you comb through other reviews you'll see the same report by others.

It is a 5400 rpm drive. I don't have the other specs on the drive but should be easy to find on the manufacturer's website. The size is pretty standard. It replaced the 120Gb drive in my 13 in 2007 White MacBook and fit easily. I did replace the HDD in a 2009 13in, unibody MacBook Pro 5.5 with an SSD. The SSD was slimmer but fit with no problems. You will need the special tools for a MacBook Pro.

This RAM was installed in a mid-2009 MacBook Pro and worked perfectly. I do not sell these times. Thx.

There are several version of MACBook Pro. But the interface is SATA @6G/s for the HD. THIS IS NOT a full SSD drive but a hybrid. I have 2 in a RAID (non MAC) and they work fine.That is the deciding factor. The new drives are all SSD. See this article to help with what model you have and whether you feel comfortable with dissecting your MAC. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/58220-upgrade-your-macbook-pros-hard-drive-2

Just want to chime in for anybody wanting to upgrade their Macbook Pros. Both answers are correct here. Usually faster RAM would not affect compatibility. This time however it does. If you are using a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro you need to buy RAM that is the same speed as the RAM currently in your system.

I am using 512MB SSD by this adpater. any SATA 2.5" Disk drive can use. if do you have Macbook, It's good choice.

I got that one without really paying attention to the specs and it turns out it did **NOT** work on my macbook pro 13 mid 2009. It did however, work on my dad's mac mini so I did not return it. I'm currently waiting for this one: &lt;http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7E646767A5CA7304&gt; which you can find on amazon here: &lt;http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1&gt;. Based on the reviews it seems that this is the right one (I'm still waiting on this though).

I would recommend going to crucial.com and having them recommend the best memory for your MacBook then coming back to Amazon and comparing prices :) good luck.

I bought one of these drives to put in an older MacBook. I would suggest you remove the old old hard drive (it's very easy, takes 5 mins) Read the spec written on the hard drive and if this matches the new drive, should help ensure it will work. If your unsure how to remove, you tube it. Hope this helps

Mathew, I really wish I could answer this for you. I installed this memory kit in a Mid 2009 24" iMac. It's like a new computer now, hopefully you'll be able to. FYI, Apple told me my system was not upgradable, that I was maxed at 4GB. Have you tried Crucial's website? It's very intuitive, you can either plug in your system info or download their memory scan tool. Www.crucial.com. Good luck!

No, this drive will not work in a Unibody MacBook Pro. This drive is for MBP's up to early 2009 only.

I bought this and replaced the 500mb stock hard drive on my mid-2009 MacBook pro 15". I know you asked for a 13", but I'll give you my review anyways. When I bought my laptop, I bought it with top of the line specs, with the back-then hi-res display and all, except for the hard drive. I figured I'd replace it anyways later on, and I finally did a few months ago. The swapping out was very easy, no hassles or misalignment of any sort. Fit like a puzzle piece, almost too easy. And my MacBook accepted it upon booting and whatnot, installed Mac os, bootcamp partitioned it 50/50, and my MacBook feels brand new. I have nothing but good things to say about this drive, or its compatibility with MacBook pro, or at least from my own experience. The noise level is about the same as my old stock hard drive when it gets some beefy work, which is not an issue for me. I've had it for about 4 months of heavy usage, and have been perfectly happy with it. I hope it helped.

Well the one I bought from Amazon did not work. I had to find another one to fit. My macbook Pro 2008 was a PATA drive. Mac used different interfaces on different drives. The best way is to find the model number of the drive. (find in about my mac) then search for the right adapter. I now have a 240 SSD where the origional drive wasand a 750 HDD where the DVD was mounted. Works fine. The adapter just takes a bit of planning

I have a 15" MacBook Pro purchased mid 2009 and running 10.9.4 with a 1066MHz processor and the 1067 MHz DDR3 upgrade to 8GB is working fine. As to whether it will physically fit, I'm not certain.

Yes I believe so should all be in the specs. I have had no trouble with the drive, Seems very reliable using it with my macbook retina.
