Will this work on my 2009 Macbook and will I have to install additional drivers?

I'm not Sure about yours, but you should carefully read the manual, by my belief it should work I use my with Google Chrome, including Safari and many other web Browser but mainly with windows 8.Plus browse to for certificates that might help it function with a MacBook.

No, it will only work with Pre 2008 MacBooks that have IDE CD-ROM drives. Yours has a SATA disk drive, so you want to buy another version of this type of product that is for SATA to SATA drive-bay adapters.

Dear customer, Thanks for your question. This adapter will work with your machine--2009 Macbook Mini. Hope my answer could be of much assistance. Any other question, please feel free to ask us.

Forget it, they dropped support a long time ago. I sold it as soon as I found out there would be no new driver for Mac. I think the latest one works with Leopard or something.

Not sure of 2009 though I installed in 2012 and 2013 Mac mini and it worked perfectly.

Honestly I don't know if it will work with your MacBook but mine is JUNK. Mine has never worked. I installed it and all the drivers for it and it still doesn't work. My computer wont even pick it up. It was a waste of money and not worth it not to mention how long it took to get here only to find out it didn't work. Save your money and don't buy this product....

Will depend on your computer, but I can tell you that on my MacBook Pro with 10.9 (Mavericks) the drivers don't work well with the new OS. Even mouse movement stutters, video is out. Your milage will vary.

I have not used it personally, but apparently there aren't any official drivers yet for Mac. Like the other answers said there is 3rd party software that will allow it to work.

Yes, should be compatible using the OSX 10.9 native drivers. Note: installation in a MacPro may also require obtaining a Molex power adapter connector for proper functioning.

I'm pretty sure.. NO - you have to install drivers via disc or download to a laptop or PC, not sure if it's even Mac compliant, I think it's Windows based only.

As long as you can find drivers for it and the Macbook has SATA connectors then it will work.

Yes, you get a disk with drivers on it, and there are Mac OS drivers included: OSv10.6, OS X Lion, OS XMountain Lion v12.27. There ought to be one driver there that works for your MAC. If Mac is plug'n'play, you shouldn't have a problem!

Hello. I does not require drivers in OSX apple. It does not work on Windows.

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.

I myself own a late 2009 model and it doesn't work on my MBP. I tried all the options available in my Monitor as well as Display Preference in Mac but it won't just recognize the Monitor. I suggest you buy the Mini Display to VGA (female) converter and then use a regular VGA cable to connect to your monitor. I have set up my MBP like that I am happy with the performance so far.

Yes, I have an macbook pro 2009 and followed some instructions for the installation off youtube which were very helpful. The installation is very easy. Just remember to keep in mind about static electricity. Hope this helps. Oh and one more thing, the hard drive is not formatted so you will have to do that. Its quite easy once you get some help from the mac forum.
