Hello Mr. Rodriguez, If your MacBook Pro would currently use a normal 2.5" SATA Drive, then it is compatible with this new Crucial M500 SSD. The only difference is that you will experience an exceptional booting speed, and of course it will boost the overall performance of your MacBook Pro. Regards, Ayman Boules 04/09/2013 ++++++++

Hello Jan,I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. If you have the 15 or 17-inch Mid 2010 Macbook Pro those do support 2.5inch 9.5mm SATA drives. As such our V300 SSD will fit within the drive bay. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you.Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

No to both questions. It is theoretically possible to do the SSD thing if you are an knowledgeable disassembler, because there is not removeable panel for the hard drive. RAM is out of the question, because it is soldered in, not in a clip. Sounds like you want a different product.

Yes! I have a MacBook Pro from 2011 or 2012 and it works. There should be a small opening for a lock next to the CD drive.

I did install SSD drive in mac book, to replace old drive, using duplicator/recovery machine to copy the drive. I would pick any other slim drive, and avoid the Seagate. The Seagate is NOT Compatible with most systems.

You know, I am not an expert. I do not do computers for a living. I do know that this SSD is only 500GB, which is half the size of the 1TB drive you currently have. I would presume that this drive would work for you, as long as you are willing to settle for half of the disk space that you currently have. I was able to swap out the 750GB SATA hard drive on my MacBook Pro for this 500GB SATA hard drive and it worked like a charm and make the computer much faster, though her old SATA drive only had a speed of 5400RPM which is standard for a 13" MacBook Pro.

Most notebooks (PC or Mac) use 2.5 inch drives and your Macbook drive should have a SATA adaptor. You should find the adapter on the end of the current drive. Move the adapter to the new drive and install. You should be fine.

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

This will be a great investment. I actually bought 2 for my Macbook Pro late 2011 17". I didnt have any use for the CD ROM so got a caddy to mount one of the drives. As it stands one of the SSDs is used as the system boot drive and the next to store media files (Photos and videos). I moved from a boot time of almost 2 minutes to 12-15 seconds, applications now load much faster. I think you will enjoy your purchase.

Simple answer, yes. I did a lot of research before buying this item, and I own a 2008 Macbook Pro. I bought Carbon copy cloner, cloned my hard drive, swapped the new drive in, and downloaded and installed a free trim enabler program, it actually was pretty easy, oh and I already had a external hard drive enclosure wich made cloning my drive easy. And it has been working great, glad I did it.I had read lots of other reviews from Mac owners, most saying they were glad they did it as well. if you do a google search, theres lots of information and even some videos showing you step by step. Check out OWC other world computing , but stick with this ssd rated very well. Simple answer, yes. I did a lot of research before buying this item, and I own a 2008 Macbook Pro.

Yes, I used to to replace a hard drive on a Macbook Pro, and to fix a PS3 controller. Only thing you might want to get is a torx head set and a soldering set.

Yes. If you have not replaced a drive on a mac before, you may want to take a look at this or other tutorials first to make sure you have the right tools on hand, and how to back up your old HD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfiGF_pjqvM

You can use the disk utilities built into OS X when you boot up while holding down the Option button. If you have an external dock you can use to connect the new drive via USB you can easily restore the MacnintoshHD drive to the new larger SSD, then swap the drives and you are done.

It's hard to say. While the drive is a standard 2.5" drive it comes with a 3.5" bracket. If the drive in you Mac is 2.5" and uses a SATA III interface I do not see a problem. Hardware such as a hard drive are pretty standard across system types. My final suggestion, to be sure, is contact Samsung support. I think it is well worth it as these drives are the best SSD's on the market.
