I own a MacPro (Early 2009) and am looking to add storage. The ones I currently have installed have a Apple logo on them - is there a difference?

yes the Apple Logo makes them cost more :) (Cheap joke) Actually this drive will work perfectly.

I don't think it matters. They just slap an apple logo on them for internal use.

My Mac Pro is the 3,1. This card works well in it. Your Mac Pro is the 4,1. See here:http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_pro/specs/mac-pro-eight-core-2.26-early-2009-nehalem-specs.htmlI looked at the specs for the 1,1 2,1 3,1 and 4,1 the earlier modes have a slightly older versions of PCIe slots. You and I the same version and it is working for me. If there is some other issue I can not find it. If Apple Core Tech has a decent return policy go for it.

That one on the photo look like the New version to me. Probably a newest version will come out ? But, if you are interested in buy a Mac, it will be a good choice. If you have an Amazon store card buy it because you will get up to a year without in interest charge . That's how I bought mine. No problems so far . Good Luck !

I used it on the current MacbookPro model without an issue. I just trust the quality of it. I've had two replaced so far because they didn't work right out of the box. I'm waiting for the third one to stop working.

Both of them work perfectly, I have them installed in a 2010 MacBook Pro and a 2012 MacBook Pro. I don't know why people said $8 one has problem, maybe they connect it to SSD but not a rotational hard drive, while I put SSD at the original hard drive tray then rotational hard drive in the adapter. I prefer the $8 one, because it makes the hard drive sit tight, OWC model is too thin. Hope it helps.

I personally can't say one way or another. I put on in a 2009 MAC PRO Desktop and it works great. It somewhat of a bugger to get connected and I certainly wouldn't recommend for anyone without a good strong tech background. It is worth the effort!

I have a Mac Pro 5,1. Yes it will work as bootable, but not fast to load. Also, you can't use option to select drives on boot. It's a bit of a PITA.

To add to that answer, yes, which is how I set mine up. I have 4 3TB Drives from an older MacPro and just popped them in and was good to go!

I personally do not know, I do not have a MacPro. Best answer is to go to StarTech.com and look for the model and see if they have drivers for Macs. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you needed.

I can confirm the Sabrent BK-HDDF will NOT work in a Mac Pro. I just tried: the bracket does fit the drive bay sled(s) (not too big) but the SATA/PWR connectors do not align. FYI - mine is a Mac Pro 4,1 (2009) model, though I believe the form factors for drive bays are the same 2006-2012 models.

I want to install it on a macbookpro mid 2009 13" , what size it is yours? There is any difference if you are talking about 15".? Thanks

Well, Philip, I'll provide my opinion. I suspect that the "F" refers to "Fully Buffered". As to whether they would work for your MacPro 1.1, I don't know. I would recommend contacting someone at an Apple Store or obtaining the specs for your motherboard within the MacPro. Check the existing memory within the MacPro and determine whether it is fully buffered. You can't mix fully buffered and non-buffered memory together, based on my research and experience.

The 2006 MacPro doesn't support the full speed of an SSD, because of its PCI bus spec. Those Macs were PCI 1.0 I think. So you'd be looking at SATA I speeds at best. If you were using a very fast HDD, an upgrade to a SSD might not give you that big a boost. It certainly won't give you the max speed specs listed for the SSD.

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.

Might be because my Mac was a late 2011 and they didn't change the hardware until late 2012 early 2013 for the Mac Pro but get the exact piece needed so you can fix the issue

I doubt it. I purchased one for my PC and while it holds it in a 3.5" bay but you still have to connect it with a cable. For what you need look at one of Icy Dock's products on Amazon. They probably makes something that works. They have one that houses your 2.5" SSD but physically mimics a 3.5" SATA drive. All connector adapting is done within the unit so once you install the SSD it looks like a standard 3.5" SATA Drive made out of plastic. If your MacPro will accept a standard 3.5" SATA drive then this is the way to go.
