I have a late 2008 macbook (white) will this be compatible? Also will the USB adapter fit my current HD so that I can use it for a backup?

It's hard to say. While the drive is a standard 2.5" drive it comes with a 3.5" bracket. If the drive in you Mac is 2.5" and uses a SATA III interface I do not see a problem. Hardware such as a hard drive are pretty standard across system types. My final suggestion, to be sure, is contact Samsung support. I think it is well worth it as these drives are the best SSD's on the market.

The SSD should be fine in your Macbook, depending on what version of OS X you are running you may need to install a trim enabler, I recommend the from this site: http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/. As for the USB adapter fitting your current HD for backup purposes that is less clear. Macsales.com has a bunch of these type of products and may be a good resource to see if your adapter will work. Good luck.

Yep, you can use this with USB 2.0, it will just run at USB 2.0 speeds. I've used it with my 2010 MacBook Pro which only has USB 2.0.

I do not have personal experience with Mac hardware, but it should. It is a 2.5" SATA drive. Typically the only concern with swapping out these drives is making sure the new drive is no thicker than the OEM drive. HDD's <=750GB are I think usually 9.5mm thick, while larger capacities require another platter so will be thicker. You should be able to substitute any <=750GB 2.5" SATA drive. This site will assist with your upgrade. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130

Best way to be sure is going to Crucial's website. Find your MacBook model and it'll give you all compatible options.

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

If your Mac has USB (3.0 preferable; 2.0 works too, but is slower), then yes, it should be compatible. Remember you supply the HD, this case is just a holder. You will format the HD you provide via your Mac's OS.

Yes, the adapter should work with that model as long as it has a Mini-DVI port. I used it successfully with a slightly older late 2008 Macbook.

Are you asking will it work with a HDD out of a Mac or if it will work when you plug it into a Mac? Either way the answer should be yes. Two things to keep in mind though:1. As long as the HDD out of an old Mac is IDE and not SATA it will work. 2. Just keep in mind whatever HDD you put in this it will need to be formatted for FAT32. If it's NTFS it will ONLY work for windows. (but you can change the format easily)

It should work with a 2006 macbook. I bought this for my late 2007 black macbook and it fit. You want to compare the female input of your computer to the male input of the adapter and match the shape before you purchase. The catch is that it does not transfer sound, and it does not deliver HD quality. The resolution is not bad, but it's not HD. If you have speakers and are okay without HD quality, go ahead and buy it.

I can't imagine why this external hard drive would not work with a new macbook. What difference would the screen make? I presume that the new macbook comes with OS X 10.8. I have two of these drives on my iMac and they work fine. It's a good idea to read the directions (quite simple) when installing the drive. It is formatted for Mac. The only thing I can think of is that someone mistakenly configured the drive for a PC. Then it wouldn't work on a Mac.

Hi Willy, I bought this memory for 13 inch White Unibody 2009 (late) Macbook which was later upgraded to mavericks. The laptop in question was upgraded from 2gb to 8gb in under 5 minutes. You can expect a HUGE performance improvement.

I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.4 and it works great with it. I use it as a backup disk with Time Machine.

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

Your Mac should run OSX 10.5 or later to be compatible. Also, your USB port should work.

I have one on a new 27 inch iMac and it works great. Don't know why it would not work on a MacBook as long as it has the correct connections. Check with WD.
