I'm assuming there's a typo here... The MacBook Pro was not released until 2006. Prior to that, Apple made a similar laptop called the PowerBook G4... which would not be compatible with this drive. All MacBook Pros, excluding the "Retina" models, will work with this drive.

Yes, I installed this disk into my 17' MacBook Pro mid 2009 and it worked flawlessly until my son in law spilled lemonade all over the computer. After installing the disk drive I had to take it to the Apple store to have the operating system installed on the disk. Apple will install the original OS system for that year model for free, but if you talk to them they just might install the new OS version for free as well.

Just had a report that a new Macbook Pro with Mavericks saw it as read only. Was quick formatted with NTFS/4096 just minutes earlier. Works fine in Win 8.1.

as long as you have a SATA original drive. you can check by going to about this mac, than more info, than system report.

Yes, I have a black version with my Macbook Pro. Before you use it, you have to format the drive using disk utility on your mac. Format the drive as ExFat file system and it works perfectly.

This is a pretty standard Laptop hard drive. I bought this and installed it into my 13-inch MacBook Pro and it worked great. I don't see why it would not work with any laptop that is less than 3 years old. If you are running at least Windows Vista, you should be good to go. My Mac was running Snow Leopard.

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.

Not sure of your laptop, but I put mine in a 4 year old MacBook Pro and it works great. Replaced the original spinning drive, installed OS on it, and it boots up almost immediately. No more waiting for system boot up.

You should probably find out if you have a USB 3.0 port on your machine or plan on getting a docking station in case your Macbook doesn't recognize this external drive. Personally, I have it working on a Toshiba laptop using W8.1 without any problems (read/write DVD single and dual layers + read/write Blu Rays) however it needs at least two USB ports to get enough power to function (I'm using 1 usb 3.0 port and 1 usb 2.0 port) so make sure you have enough available ports to power this.

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

I have used it with 10.6 thru 10.8. Make sure you create one partition. Also select the correct partition scheme (intel or power Mac). That will help a lot.

There are probably about 10 million people out there who could answer this better than I can, but I'll try. I think what you are saying is that you can't trouble shoot the MacBook because the hard drive is not responding and you are presuming that it is the hard drive that is defective. The hard drive is easy enough to replace and cheap relative to the cost of a new MacBook that it probably is worthwhile just replacing it. I did have a copy of Snow Leopard that I installed on the new hard drive. The Apple Store folks said they would replace the software for free if I needed it done. If you google (you will have to do this on another computer) "How to replace a MacBook hard drive" you will have a number of folks who will show you how to do it. I hope this helps.

The lasted firmware v1.5 was pre-installed! But you don't mind if you install new OS. If using this SSD for Macbook, you may be need download TRIM Enable software to turn on TRIM function.Good luck for all!
