Wow! Just replacing my existing spinning drive with this on my aging Mac Book Pro did wonders for it. The processing speed is amazing. No more spinning beach balls. And everything seems to open and load faster. Highly recommended if you're having any issues with system running slow or locking up. .
Great for 2012 5,1 Mac Pro. I bought this as well as the Newertech adapter that allows the drive to use the existing Mac Pro drive sleds and this makes the system fly. The stock 1TB HDD is now used for extra storage. While this is rated for SATA 3, the Mac Pro "only" supports SATA 2, or 3 gbps.
This update to my 2008 mac pro has transformed boot up and application loading. Runs very well on my Mavericks setup while running Pro tools After effects and Premiere. 240GB seems to be a good size for applications which demand to be on the boot drive.
Amazing product, I have it attached via thunderbolt as my primary HD on my iMac. Read/write falls in the high 300s low 400s. Click and open instant any app. The 1 TB hard drive that came with the computer was reformatted and used for misc storage.
This works great in our mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro. We upgraded to 8GB of RAM and also installed a new battery in addition to this OWC 240GB 6G SSD. The SSD was easily found by Disk Utility, was formatted and we installed OS X Mavericks.
Exactly what we needed- excellent
I ordered two of these just about exactly two years ago. One was for upgrading a MacBook Pro and the other for my Mac Mini. They were trouble free for maybe a year but it was not to last. Over the last six months both died and in about the same manner.
Well - 2 years ago the drive was great but now it's dead. Only lasting two years is not something I feel is great quality. - updated my review to two stars because of the 3-year warranty, and the outreach of support on this review.
this upgrade brought new life to my near dead macbook...big difference... and the install was simple
I purchased this for my daughter's late 2009 Macbook. We went with the 240GB SSD because we were replacing her 240GB standard hard drive and she never had an issue with space. Her computer was running really slow and eventually crashed.
