Will this work in a 2009 Unibody 17" Macbook Pro?

Yes, the drive will work in a 17" Macbook Pro. Your particular model is a SATA II, so you'll only get 3GB/s, but it will still smoke any other platter based HDD. Its a massive upgrade on that laptop which shipped with a 5400 rpm drive.

It should. Almost all laptops ( including my 2010 Macbook Pro 13" ) use 2.5" HDDs. Since this fits that dimension it should fit. I can't guarantee that though. Make sure you have the install disk for the OS. It should be lightning fast after adding this.

Yes it will, it uses a standard harddrive connection. I put it in a mac myself.

Yes, I believe it will work. However, it's capabilities may be limited since I doubt that a 2009 Macbook Pro has SATAIII (also known as SATA 6.0). Therefore, it might not be worth purchasing. This is because the type of SATA you have limits how fast the drives on-board your computer can communicate with the motherboard. I would advise doing some research on which type of SATA you have, how fast it can go, and then finding a drive that won't be limited by your computer's hardware.

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

I believe it will work. My 17 inch MacBook Pro was purchased in April 2009. The battery pack is working fine for me.

It worked fine on my 2009 13 inch MacBook Pro. I did not install myself so cannot comment on how easy it is

This drive will not work with your 2009 MbP 17, sadly. You will need a SATA model, as Stephen said. General prices seem to range from about $80.00 to $200.00, so shop around.

I have a early 2009 MacBook Pro and the drive works perfectly. I hope that it will help you.

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: <http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7E646767A5CA7304> which you can find on amazon here: <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=pe_385040_30332190_pe_175190_21431760_M3T1_ST1_dp_1>. Based on the reviews it seems that this is the right one (I'm still waiting on this though).

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

Mine is an older 2007 15" MacBook Pro. I really don't know the answer to this, but you can probably find the answer, just by Googling your question.

Yes, it will fit and it is also the correct speed. I installed one of these for a customer in a 2009 MBP and they were very happy with the change.Be sure to watch for the three long screws when you are removing the bottom cover!

Check this site for steps (For Unibody): http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+17-Inch+Unibody+RAM/3419/1It is simple, I did for Mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro and it was easy.

I have the same model, a mid 2009 15" unibody MacBook Pro. Did this drive end up working for you?

Yes, it should fit since the MacBook pros from 2009 onwards all have the same unibody and SuperDrive dimensions

Hmm it works perfectly on my 2009 Mac Pro 4,1. Not positive if it's the semi as the 2010 models.

I used it on my unibody macbook (not pro) 2008 13" - I think these have the same body so it's likely it would work. But I can't be 100% sure.
