Hi, I have a 15-inch MacBook Pro (2,.4/2.2GHz) from late 2007, I'd like to know if this dvd drive will work for me... Thanks...

Yes. I installed it and it works like a charm. The only difficult part is installing the drive. I would recommend searching online for the removal/installation instructions, as it will help you and save a lot of time.

Mine is an older 2007 15" MacBook Pro. I really don't know the answer to this, but you can probably find the answer, just by Googling your question.

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).

Hi Buddy, yes it works perfectly on my macbook with just one thing. You have to connect it and then 'find' it by inserting a disc. Also, I had to re-connect it each time I changed the disc I was downloading. Good luck.

My new version 13 inch has the dvd/cd. I do not know about the 15 inch Macbook.

Hi, I guess it working good, because my macbook is early 2011, but 15-inch. Regards.

I'm pretty sure it will. I have a mid 2007 black edition MacBook and it has run well with this hard drive for over a year. If the specifications are comparable I would think it would run just fine on your computer. Mac has made it so easy to install a new hard drive

You should probably find out if you have a USB 3.0 port on your machine or plan on getting a docking station in case your Macbook doesn't recognize this external drive.Personally, I have it working on a Toshiba laptop using W8.1 without any problems (read/write DVD single and dual layers + read/write Blu Rays) however it needs at least two USB ports to get enough power to function (I'm using 1 usb 3.0 port and 1 usb 2.0 port) so make sure you have enough available ports to power this.

It should work fine. If I recall the old Macbook pros, they used 2.5 inch SATA drives, which is what this drive is. NOTE that this is a 7200RPM drive - if your old drive was an industry standard 5400RPM drive, this drive may seem a little bit (emphasis on "little") peppier - but it may also change your expected battery life - 7200RPM drives pull a little more juice.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

I put this SSD in my MBP 13" (early 2011) and it works perfectly well. I reckon it should work with MBP 15".

Yes it works, on my 15inch Mac Book Pro Retina, but what are you trying to do? You may need additional software to play Blue Ray disks. Same with authoring Blue Ray disks.. Etc

Yes. I put it in my 15' 2011 MacBook Pro. The form factor is the same as a regular laptop hard drive, so I would think it would work in most any laptop. Just google how to replace the hard drive in a macbook--it's easy. Best upgrade ever.

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.

To answer the question "Will this work for a 17" MacBook Pro Early-2011" one would need more information. My GUESS is that it will but a little research, on your part, could save some grief. My MBP is Early 2009 and the drive works GREAT! First, check under the Apple MENU, which should give more valuable information, and select About This Mac. Then, when that dialog box opens, select More info...; then System Report... Look for Disc Burning and you should see information about the DVD-R drive within your Mac. The FIRST place I usually go is Apple Support Communities, and it is FREE! Get yourself a FREE account. Here you can look for information, ask questions and usually receive answers to those questions.
