Is this backwards compatible with SATA 1? I want one for an older macbook pro...

SATA3 drives are backwards compatible with SATA1. It's merely a bandwidth upgrade that you won't be able to take advantage of. So you should be alright with this drive though you might lose a bit of performance in the read speed in some instances.

Yes....It is backward compatible. However, there is no driver from Adata. So expect your massstorage controller to be offline. Items like card readers, etc. probably wont work. SSD will work.

I think they are only backward compatible with sata 2, but I maybe wrong. Its not worth it anyhow since you wont be able to take advantage of the increased through put speeds, so it wont do you any good to buy one. If your going to keep your old mac book, you may want to stick with a hard drive. If your not sure, contact apple or go to best buy and talk to their techs, they should be able to find you something that will work. Make sure you have the latest mac operating system and updates. I've heard of people having some issues with trim support and other functionality issues. You may also consider upgrading to a new mac book as well.

Yes, it will work as a SATA 1 with no problem. You will not get 6GB/sec, but it will still be faster than anything else the macbook pro has seen <G>. Don't know what OS you are running. In the windows world, XP does not support the TRIM feature of the drive natively. But there are some 3-party utilities that can perform that function. Win7 and 8 support TRIM, and certainly the more recent Apple OSes do as well.

No idea.. But i feel like most (don't quote me on that) technologies today are (HDMI, USB, etc.) - but I'd do more research to be sure. A Google search should suffice.

i never got the chance to find that out, i ordered two ADATA SSD's both where faulty on arrival. ended up returning them.

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

Sorry, I do not know anything about Macs. But, I would check your owners manual. The SATA connector should be the same, but the height of the drive could be an issue, it might not fit in your HDD slot. Good luck.

I use mine with Mavericks and SATA III drives. The only problem I have is that USB 3.0 drives can kill your wifi on MBP

Can you be more specific? If the pins aren't lining up: This is for a SATA style connector. If you have the much older IDE style connector, you'll need to find another enclosure. Otherwise, the install should be straightforward. How old is your macbook?

It's compatible with any SATA equipped Mac, which means you are good to go. Just make sure you have TRIM enabled after installing it on OS X. The utility I use is called Trim Enabler.With regards to the previous poster's comment, I've taken my Mac apart many times now and I've never had a problem. iFixIt has great tutorials for every Mac that covers how to disassemble your laptop safely. I recommend printing out their guide's and then putting the screws on top of the guide's pictures, so you know where to put them back.

Yes. It works with any computer that uses SATA interface. You will need to format it to work with the Mac OS.

This is an enclosure only. You must checkConnections for your hard drive SATA, ATA, IDE?Does you Mac Support USB 2.0?Once you determine these things then it should work

Unclear on what the question is; if the older HDD is SATA, then it should work fine. (This suggests that is the case, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP11?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US).

I will like upgrade my Macbook unibody 2008, whit sad drive. This Samsung work with Sata 2,5 bps?

Even though it may be the same form factor, I believe that the mac drive is PCI, not SATA. Try the samsung PCI m2 pci.e 2280. its about 500 dollars though for the 512 gb versio.

yes it will work on sata 2 & 3 and its backward compatible means it will go back from 3 to 2 . you will like it

To answer your question...yes, USB is backwards compatible. However, given the context of your question that is irrelevant. The hard drive does not dictate the USB version (or corresponding transfer speed) - that is dependent on the USB Controller (built-into the external enclosure)....an "older" SATA drive could be mounted into a USB 3 enclosure and a brand new drive could also be mounted in a USB 1 enclosure. You really just need to make sure the drive you are mounting uses the same connector as the enclosure (e.g. PATA or SATA). HTH

Shouldn't be an issue. Sata III is backwards compatible. If you're able to fit your data, this SSD will make your older notebook fly. A most-impressive upgrade!

backwards compatible with Msata II - yes backwards compatible with msata I - most likely not source: http://mydigitalssd.com/msata-ssd.php update: in fact my laptop only handles SATA II and it works great with this msata SSD

Yes this is compatible with SSD drives. I read this article on CNET (http://www.cnet.com/how-to/upgrade-your-macbook-install-ssd-hard-drive/) which gave me the idea to change the hard drive on my 2008 MacBook Pro with a Samsung SSD. The change made a huge difference.

Yes. The first bullet point in their description reads: * Support for standard 2.5 "and 3.5" SATA hard drives (SATA-I/II/III); Compatible Operating Systems with Windows 2000/ XP /Vista/ 7/ 8, Mac OS 9.1/10.8.4 or above; Backward compatible with USB 2.0 /1.1 connections
