I was never able to even get it to work with a standard PC SATA drive, sorry

Frankly, I don't think it even can be said to "work" at all. Even if one accepts the terrible Windows software and the glllaaaciallll transfer speeds, mine up and spontaneously reset itself and *lost all saved data*. If you're already in the Mac ecosystem anyway, why look anywhere else than a Time Capsule? Designed from the get-go to work with the OS, integrates wonderfully and has fabulous (well, compared to Seagate) support (if you're near an Apple store).

Sorry, no idea. Stopped using Macs about 15 years ago. But afaik, no, its a standard hard drive with no other special pieces.

Hi Rayn...Your Mac takes a 2.5" HDD, & this HDD IS 2.5". It will fit/work in any laptop...notebook, etc. I have an HP Envy Notebook, & if I ever want/need to replace the HDD, I wouldn't hesitate to use this one. As for it being a good drive, I've been using mine in my PS3 Slim, & it's turned out to be a GREAT upgrade. I originally had the 320 GB drive. I got tired of having to delete games, etc, to free up space, so I went with a 750 GB drive. I use my PS3 a lot, & I've had no problems!! Anyway, I HOPE I helped out...& good luck with your Mac...

Hi Gabby, I don't see why it wouldn't work. With an older Mac, you could prob use a smaller external drive though, say 500gb.

It should work fine. If I recall the old Macbook pros, they used 2.5 inch SATA drives, which is what this drive is. NOTE that this is a 7200RPM drive - if your old drive was an industry standard 5400RPM drive, this drive may seem a little bit (emphasis on "little") peppier - but it may also change your expected battery life - 7200RPM drives pull a little more juice.

Yes. I put it in my 15' 2011 MacBook Pro. The form factor is the same as a regular laptop hard drive, so I would think it would work in most any laptop. Just google how to replace the hard drive in a macbook--it's easy. Best upgrade ever.

There is no reason why this drive would not work on any Mac running OSX 10.4 or higher. There are some OSX applications on the drive but I've never used them (I just deleted them) so I don't know if they'll run on 10.10. You don't need them to use the drive on your Mac.

No, the new hard drive has to equal or larger size than the original if you are going to clone without computer. However, there is a way to clone partitions from the old drive to the new one if you use the free Home edition of Mini Tool Partion Wizard 9.0. Hook up the new drive to Port A and connect the included USB cable from this device to the computer that has the drive that you to clone. Do some research on web on "how to" so you don't mess up your original drive! GOOD LUCK on tinkering with it.

Yes. I have been using it and it works fine. It appears to backup my MacBook Pro fine. I have not had to restore the backups so i haven't test that. Although I have viewed the folders on the backup drive.

I have no idea but I am sure it will clone to a smaller drive. My machines are Windows 7.

Yes 100% Mac friendly, but you need a software to clone your HDD.I used this item to clone my HDD into an SSD and it worked perfectly without any problem.

I'm not sure for MacBook. I *do* know that, in my Toshiba Qosmio, I had remove some plastic to make this fit. It is quite a bit thicker than most 2.5 drives.

Yes it will. Copying from a smaller drive to a larger always works. It's the other way around that it will not. To clone a larger to a smaller drive you would need to use software like Paragon which will allow you to not copy certain files.

well yeah thats sort of the point with this thing. plug in power, a hard drive you want to clone, and the destination hard drive. hit the button and wait. when it tells you its finished you can install the HDD in a computer and it will work just like the old one.

no it has to be the same size or larger. in order to clone it you would have to use something like imagex to create an image to apply it to the smaller drive.

Yes it will. All the intel based macs use a standard SATA 2.5" hard drive. If you are upgrading to a larger capacity drive for more space don't forget to buy a SATA to usb adapter so you can clone your existing drive. And don't use the software that comes with the adapter, download Carbon Copy Cloner, it's the best and it's freeware!
