Will this drive work with an early 2008 MAC Pro?

I've used both the 1&2 TB in my early 2008 MAC Pro; they work prefect. No issues to report.

I put it in a 2006 Mac Pro and it works fine. (I think I got my Mac Pro in 2006.....)

This will work in the Macbook Pro 2008 system as well as later models. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

You should have no problem. My mac has USB 2.0 and this drive supports USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 natively. The only difference you will see is the data transfer speed, and honestly, even with USB 2.0 interface, the data transfer is pretty fast.

Hey Nelson, i'm not sure, i installed this drive into my late 2007 Intel Macbook Pro 15" 2.4/2.2GHz and it worked like a charm. :)i would research your computer model on google and what cd drives it is compatible with.sorry i wasnt more help!

From doing a Lookup on the specs of the Mac pro Early 2009 version it says The Graphics Card is a 2.0 pci-e and this is a 3.0 pci-e Card, so you're wondering if the Card will work. The Answer is yes it should work without a problem, the only issue might be if you have enough space in your Case for the Card, I wouldn't know since I don't have a Mac! Good luck with your Build Though.

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.

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 definitely does - Macbook Pro natively supports this drive. The only missing feature is the Blu-ray playback, but it can be solved by installing a Blu-ray player software on your Mac (there is a couple or so available out there).

If the 2008 Mac Pro has SATA III not that much, you will find that these cards operate at roughly 5Gbps so a little slower than native SATA III, but if you have SATAII this will be a nice improvement. I use this card and it works rather well.

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.

Please, know that I am no expert in this issue, but, as I watched a lot of videos to learn how to change my HD at mi iMac, I'd like to say yes. But it depends on the model and mainly how old your unit is. Go to YouTube and search a little. Use your macpro number and model and see. If the your macbookpro is new or close to it, it has to work. Best of luck!

Hi D. Patterson, I'm not 100% sure but I have a 2009 Mac Book Pro and it works perfectly! I mainly use it for my external drives (western digital and seagate), mouse and card readers. I don't see why it wouldn't work for you too. I hope this helps.

My 4TB drive is used as a backup drive in a Mac Pro computer (I have four internal drives). The first drive was faulty but it was promptly replaced by Western Digital and the replacement now works without any problems.

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!

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.
