not sure but I installed this drive on a macbookpro model 5.1. It works fine, but some of the holes dont align right. I installed it supported by 3 of the 4 screws. It seemed solid enough. I would also try a compressed air or a lens cleaner disc before replacing the whole drive

Yes it is. It is the direct drive for my MacBook Pro 8.1 (UJ-8A8), but is a replacement for the UJ-898 in the Model 7.1.

Yes it does! Everything you need to open up the MacBook and replace the drive. I used the web site www.ifixit.com for step by step directions on how to remove the DVD drive. I now have two Segate Hybrid 750 gig SSD/HDs installed as a RAID, with 8gig RAM and my 2008 MBP laptop is young again!

I bought this drive for my macbook pro. I only plug in one of the usb inputs into the computer and it runs fine.

Not quite sure as I recently replaced my harddrive on my mac with the exact same one that I had in it before. Maybe contacting Seagate directly might be a better alternative.

I can confirm that this drive is 100% compatible with a 15" model A1286. You won't be disappointed!

I'm sorry. I don't know. I had a drive cloned *for* me. I suggest you contact Seagate. They're awesome.

Sorry, I have a mid 2010. I used this guide: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Replacing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2010+Hard+Drive+Cable/4304/2 . There's a step missing in the guide which can be found in the comments, dealing with the ribbon cable clamp.

Yes, it was a MacBook Pro 13" earily 2011 always match up part numbers on the cables. You have to make sure you disconnect power cord, the battery and hold down the power switch for 5 seconds before disconnecting the hard drive. It is possible to burn out the cable and or the hard drive. I had one MacBook Pro that would read the original hard drive but not the new hard drive the cause was the hard drive cable. Take your time replacing the cable.

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.

Mine has the Model no. A1238 on the back and is known as the "thick model" the hard drive replaced a samsung 160 gb and it has worked well with no problems.

All the specs say Yes. The Crucial drive comes with a spacer that you will need to make it fit the form factor of the macbook. The 2011 macbooks use serial ATA or SATA connectors, but the SATA III firmware on the drive may not be fully utilized on the macbook (aka you may experience bottlenecking). It should be tons faster than the HDD that comes in the original macbook.

Answer 1 that you already received is the right answer. SATA is a relatively new connection design and used for all new MacBooks except for those with the new Solid State Hard Drive which is soldered to the logic board. Order the one based on your model and serial number. Good luck.

I'm using it with a 2011 MacBook Pro. No problems encountered. Using it for straight file copies as well as time machine. I don;t know about firmware.

Yes. It should work. But please check out this video first. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+Hard+Drive+Replacement/5119 There may be a cut-off between early 2011 & eary 2012. There are also some kits that allow you to upgrade to Hybrid or SSD. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have a black version with my Macbook Pro. Before you use it, you have to format the drive using disk utility on your mac. Format the drive as ExFat file system and it works perfectly.
