Will this drive work in an early 2009 17" Macbook Pro?

Unfortunately no. This hard drive is for the previous generation of Apple workstations (Mac Pro) - prior to today's cylindrical version. It is way to large to fit into an Apple laptop (MacBOOK Pro). The similarities in these product names can sometimes cause confusion.

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.

Mine is installed in a Mac Pro. It functions like a standard hard drive. You should have no problem. The only concern is physically mounting it. Make sure it fits properly. I imagine it would as I believe the drive is a standard size for laptops but make sure none the less.

Yes, I have an macbook pro 2009 and followed some instructions for the installation off youtube which were very helpful. The installation is very easy. Just remember to keep in mind about static electricity. Hope this helps. Oh and one more thing, the hard drive is not formatted so you will have to do that. Its quite easy once you get some help from the mac forum.

[ I am usually not very knowledgeable with hardware - Mine is a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 LATE 2011 - It really depends on the compatibility of the SATA connection - I would suggest you search the web with "macbook early 2011" and "sata" and "crucial" to make sure ]

I installed this hard drive in a MacBook Pro (15" Late 2007) and it was a perfect fit. It should fit in your MacBook Pro just fine.

It didn't work on my older Mac Pro from 2009. The connectors don't line up vertically or horizontally. I'm not sure if it's the exact same product, but I can tell by the picture that it has the drive centered, so it definitely wouldn't work in my computer. It would have to be offset to compensate for the smaller drive. I can't say for sure it won't work for you if your Mac is newer, but it seems unlikely if they still have the slide in trays. You would need something designed specifically for a Mac Pro to line up the drive connectors. Unfortunately, the standard has the connectors on one side of the drive so the smaller size messes everything up. It didn't work on my older Mac Pro from 2009.

Yes, this will work on it, however if you can check the site of crucial or ifixit.com there a list of models compatibility , I did it and found your model to be compatible, I got this memory for an iMac early 2009 and work instantly after one booting without any problem, and there is no better price around: Compatibility All 13" Unibody MacBooks Mid 2009, Mid 2010 13" Unibody MacBook Pros Early 2009, Mid 2009, and Mid 2010 15" Unibody Macbook Pros Early 2009, Mid 2009, and Mid 2010 17" Unibody Macbook Pros 2, 2.26, 2.53, or 2.66 GHz (model A1283) Mac minis 2.4 or 2.66 GHz (model A1347, Mid 2010) Mac minis 2.66 GHz (Early 2009) Intel 20" iMacs (EMC No. 2266) 2.66, 2.93, or 3.06 GHz (Early 2009) Intel 24" iMacs (EMC No. 2267) Late 2009 Intel 21.5" iMacs Late 2009 Intel 27" iMacs

i have it in my macbook pro 15", not sure of year though. 2.5" form factor standard, but check if 2006 has SATA (serial ATA). this replaced parallel ATA, but i think prior to 2006.

As it is a drive with both SATA connections and is a standard 2.5" hard drive size, it should fit without any problems. I tested it with my late 2007 MBP and it works just fine.

This drive will not work with your 2009 MbP 17, sadly. You will need a SATA model, as Stephen said. General prices seem to range from about $80.00 to $200.00, so shop around.

try it being that you're already running 10.9 on a 2007 mac pro...it should work...

Yes it will work. As long as it's a 2.5" laptop style hard drive with IDE/ata. As for the OSX 10.9, as long as you format it using your Mac, then I see no reason that it wouldn't work!

I'm assuming there's a typo here... The MacBook Pro was not released until 2006. Prior to that, Apple made a similar laptop called the PowerBook G4... which would not be compatible with this drive. All MacBook Pros, excluding the "Retina" models, will work with this drive.

Yes - all the macbook pros earlier and 2012 have 2.5" SATA drives, go to the about this Mac icon in the finder and see it under hardware storage , its the same size as the one you have
