Which one do I need? I have a 2.5" hard drive 250Gb from a Macbook OS X 10.6.8

Googling MacBook hard drive type came up with a SATA connection, so this should work.

I don't use Macs, but as long as you have a USB 2.0 or better, just about any 2.5" drive will work. Be aware that the double USB plug is sometimes needed for extra power, but I seldom have to use anything other than a standard USB cable.

Mine didn't work at all so I'd recommend buying something else. I thought at the price it was worth a try. It wasn't.

If it's a 2.5 inch sata drive out of a laptop the silver case pictured should work fine. The operating system doesn't matter.

I have the MCE drive. It's much faster than the Apple drive & works better. A no-brainer.

What i first got for the docking station was a Western Digital Green 2TB 3.5" HD & partitioned it in half - one side to use as a backup for my MacBook Pro & the other side as storage for music, movies & the like...works fine. Seagate also makes good HD's... you'll just have to shop around to find something suitable...1TB drives can be found 2nd hand for a very good price - just need to check it out first... got my 2TB for $50 from someone that moved up to a 4TB drive & just didn't need the other any more. Had brought the dock w/ me to check it out. May you find what you need...

it all depends on how you use it. This version I bought was the drive formatted for MAC OS

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

Compatible with SATA III specs And USB 3.0 on PCs ,but not sure about the MAC OS X and USB 3.0.

I don't think there's anything special about this drive that would make installing OSX difficult, I put 10.8 on mine just fine. Make sure you partition/format it first with Disk Utility so it has a GUID partition table and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.

Yes. My new Mac didn't even come with a disc drive. I downloaded everything from the website. Forewarned, it's a bit confusing as to what to download.

I am currently using a 2 TB WD My Book for Mac on OSX 10.9.1. It works flawlessly and am very happy with it. I set it up when I was still using Lion. Then upgraded to Mavericks and had no problem.

I am running Maverick on my machine and using a Seagate Backup plus drive with 3 TB. The description specifically said that it was compatible with OSX 10.9.1.. Good luck.

Depends entirely on the storage capacity of the two computers are how much space is taken up on both. I personally use the 1 tb drive for just my 500gb MacBook Pro.

I used a 1T that I already had; it was more than enough.The external HD depends on how much data you stored in it.250 should be enough, in my opinion.

Note that it depends on your OSX version. 10.4.11 (possibly 10.4.8, but I'm not sure) and later support NTFS - 10.3.9 supports HFS only.

Yes. If you have not replaced a drive on a mac before, you may want to take a look at this or other tutorials first to make sure you have the right tools on hand, and how to back up your old HD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfiGF_pjqvM

Yes. If using USB 3.0 you should use mountain lion due to the apple driver improvements in 10.8.2

This is a standard sized drive. I swapped out the HDD in my MacBook Pro for this very drive with no issues at all.
