If I take the hard drive out of my macbook pro, will it fit into this case and work?

Yes. If it's a 2.5" SATA drive and less than 15mm thick, it should fit. Whether Apple had the drive manufactured with special electronics onboard, I don't know. But I'm almost certain it will be OK.

Yes it does. It is a 5400RPM Hitachi drive that is 9MM tall and will fit in a MacBook Pro. Removing the drive from the case will absolutely break the retaining clips. It is designed this way and I've never seen a sprudger that could reach down into the opening and back 180 degrees to the clips. If you plan to use the enclosure with another 9mm drive, you can, but the case will not stay closed without something like a rubber band to secure it. It is too small for a 12mm drive to fit normally. There is a youtube video of a similar drive being opened here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UASTdM0a3I0

Yes very tight but it will fit! Might have to buy a modular power supply so you can get more room and move the hard drive to the top bay or even mount it on the bottom or front of the case to free up some space but it will fit - just have to out think it!

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

Hard drives are of standard sizes (3.5" & 2.5"). Yours is probably 3.5" if it came from a desktop computer. It will fit standard external cases.

Absolutely! I have a macbook pro and it fits perfectly with even more empty space.

If it fits in the hard drive slot of your computer, then it should fit in the Thermaltake. My Apple MacBook hard drive fit in it fine.

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.

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.

Yes but I had to put my Macbook Pro in at a tiny angle. But once inside the safe, it fits perfectly. I was even able to get mine in with a laptop travel case on it.

Yes it fits. I have this model hard drive and it fits fine in this case along with the cable.

I can't say for sure, but it's a SATA and that model macbook is too, so it certainly should work. I've replaced SATA drives with WD and Seagate drives in Macs in the past and had success with them.

I bought one of these drives to put in an older MacBook. I would suggest you remove the old old hard drive (it's very easy, takes 5 mins) Read the spec written on the hard drive and if this matches the new drive, should help ensure it will work. If your unsure how to remove, you tube it. Hope this helps

I put mine in an old 17" Macbook pro. It's just a solid state drive. Should be compatible. But Google it...

I have a Seagate expansion. Please compare the dimensions. if the Hard drive is less than 3.7 x 5.5 x 1.7 inches(dimensions odf the case), yes your hard will fit in

Yes it sure does, in fact I am writing you from a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro which holds the same size of drive. I think you will be happy with the results of the upgrade.

No. This macBook pro uses IDE type of drive. SATA interfacewill not work.Mike
