This He encourage does have the Sata connection, but it will only fit a laptop size HD. (2.5")

If the hard drive inside the iMac is mounted using side screws, it will work. You have to check that.

I am not sure but since everyone I know uses Mac and this external drive and many are on latest version of Mac, I would HIGHLY suspect that it will work just fine. This drive, with Time Machine, totally ROCKS. It is the best investment you could make.

Yeah it should work, but I'd skip it. PATA is outdated, I only bought one of these to clone a hard drive for my PowerBook from the early 2000s. That and finding a bare PATA drive that's big enough to fit all the contents of a modern Mac with Time Machine will be difficult. And if that's not enough, after 20 or so minutes of continuous writing, this will get pretty hot. I say buy a dedicated drive.

Yes it does work. Apparently, all of my computers were Mac. But, I have to tell you that this item does not appear to be a high quality one, although it get the job done. Also, when you use the connector, if it feels too lose, it meants that you did not connect it properly. Just a tip! Happy hard drive upgrade!!

This is just the case, you will need to provide the HDD (2.5in SATA (SATA, SATA II, SATA III) laptop hard drive or SSD) separately... check your MacBook's specifications.... that being said it's standard USB 2.0 connection, it will work just as any regular USB drive would.... I'm very happy with mine and it enabled me to get access to my old laptop's files and now use the case for "on-the-go"...

Confirm the connector type and it should work. I replaced the HD in an old HP Pavillion laptop, this drive works properly. Again, be certain the drive has an IDE type connector.

Sorry, I do not know anything about Macs. But, I would check your owners manual. The SATA connector should be the same, but the height of the drive could be an issue, it might not fit in your HDD slot. Good luck.

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.

I would say yes. I have multiple WD Hard drives attached to multiple macs with different Operating Systems on them... the OS really doesn't care what OS you have, so I would say you are good to go! Enjoy!! WD makes great products and you will be very happy with your purchase like I was! - Jeremy in TX www.MyMailBoxFreedom.com

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.

Hi JerryYes It will work if your cable connectors are compatible.If you have an SATA system, which I think you do, them make sure the Hard Drive is also SATA. Small connector no pins.Your other choice is PATA / IDE, so make sure the hard drive has the same connector configuration. The PATA has the long connector with a bunch of pins. 42 I think.You can buy both in the same hard drive.I hope this helped.Walk In PeaceDavid

I'm sure it would work but I have not used my hard drives yet. You might have to get a Thunderbolt connection.

A.J., Thanks for your post, I have just done the same thing and it works a treat. My Mac picked up the Seagate drive on the desktop with no bother. Seems like the case and heat issues are letting Seagate down here.F

I don't see why not...as long as its a SATA drive...and plugged into another mac

Unclear on what the question is; if the older HDD is SATA, then it should work fine. (This suggests that is the case, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP11?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US).

It should work, the same hdd is on my ps4 and mac and it's stock. It's thinner than usual, like 7mm instead of 9mm, but it works.
