Hello Phan, The Macbook Air 2009 model is not user upgradeable and uses an Apple proprietary connection for it's drive. The KC380 microSATA SSD is not compatible with the Macbook Air. For further questions or concerns, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for considering Kingston as your upgrade partner.

I have a 2014 mac air book. It works like a charm. I can't answer if it works on a 2009 model. Ask the dealer. :)

"Hi, I've installed this drive in my late 2010 MacBook Pro and it worked without problems. I don't know your drive, but according to this page: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HTS545025B9SA02-NDW-R it seems that it is a SATA drive. Since all SSD drives are SATA you should not have any problem at all by replacing it. Now, since your MacBook is 2009, the drive won't be able to deliver more than 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gbps ( it is capable of delivering 6.0 Gbps in a faster system such a Core I5 or Core I7) But don't worry, your laptop will be way faster than it is now. Should you have more questions, please contact me via e-mail: rrllamas@gmail.com"

Based on the seagate cheetah drive specs in its description I found that this product with an ocz vertex 4 had a read write speed of about 400mbs in my 2009 Mac Pro. So personally I would suggest using this. I did however try and dig a second ssd as it said it would or could double the read/write rate to 800mbs. However I never figured it out and just stayed with one. Hope this helps.

I believe there has been a software update that allows this drive to work with older iMacs too. I have this drive for the Macbook Air. When I bought it in mid 2011 it was made very clear by Apple that it only works with the certain Apple products such as the MBA. When the Superdrive in my early 2010 iMac 27" died, I plugged the USB Superdrive in just to see what happens. It works perfectly as a Superdrive for my iMac.

your Mac needs a special MSATA card slot for it to be compatible. I do not think apple uses this technology. You can however use a standard SSD drive for your Mac Mini.

I bought one of these drives to put in an older MacBook. I would suggest you remove the old old hard drive (it's very easy, takes 5 mins) Read the spec written on the hard drive and if this matches the new drive, should help ensure it will work. If your unsure how to remove, you tube it. Hope this helps

Hi, I am not sure but when I came to buy mine, I went to a website called: newegg.com.. there, u can search for ur harddrive by putting in the features of ur laptop and seeing what would b compatible. Another way is to call the apple helpline and they r usually very helpful even tho they wont have ur harddrive in stock anymore. after u purchase ur device, make sure to research 2009 step by step installation or chat with an apple representative as the majority of the guidelines online are for later versions now. Unfortunately I cant remember what the steps r but I remember the process of obtaining the information and I hope I was of help. :) good luck.

Your mid 2013 macbook air isn't supported because its a pci-e ssd, whereas these are sata3 ssds. Check out the compatibility chart.

Yes you can use it, but one problem is that, Some drive bays have a height of 7 mm, while others have a height of 9.5 mm. Depending on the size of your drive bay, you may need to use a spacer to make your SSD fit properly

I installed it in a 2009 Macbook and it worked. I don't have extensive knowledge of this kind of thing but it seems like it should work.

It should be. I would go to Crucial.com and do the free scan they offer to see what SSD would be compatible with your system. It will tell you what SSD will fit in your macbook.

Item I purchased works with 2.5" Serial ATA (SATA) Hard Drive the MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro need something like http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Air-Retina/Apple-MacBook-Air-2012-Drive-Internal-Flash

yes, I have a 2009 MacBook Pro with only USB 2.0 and it works just fine. I cannot wait to upgrade my laptop and see how much faster the thunderbolt is.

Yes. I bought this exact hard drive from Amazon a couple years ago and it's been working great in my first-year MacBook Air ever since. My only suggestion, be very carful with the ribbon cable that connects it to the motherboard. It can get damaged very easily.

Yes! But make sure to buy the one that is built specifically for Macbook Air. It should be stated in the listing.
