Does Crucial M500 120GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT120M500SSD1 works in Mid 2009 Macbook Pro?

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.

[ I am usually not very knowledgeable with hardware - Mine is a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 LATE 2011 - It really depends on the compatibility of the SATA connection - I would suggest you search the web with "macbook early 2011" and "sata" and "crucial" to make sure ]

I had to use a flash hack to roll back to earlier macbook pro 15 firmware that set it for 1.5GBs, it seems to work ok. I did read where some folks on forum said it was the SATA cable on the Macbook Pro that was the problem and they bought a newer cable and swapped it to fix it

Hi, I also have mid 2009 macbook Pro, what can I use to upgrade the 2gb (original) memory? thanks

Yes. I put the 120gb version in a 2006 MacBook pro first generation intel core duo and it breathed new life into an aging but still viable laptop. Boots up in under 15 seconds.

The SSD should be fine in your Macbook, depending on what version of OS X you are running you may need to install a trim enabler, I recommend the from this site: http://www.cindori.org/software/trimenabler/. As for the USB adapter fitting your current HD for backup purposes that is less clear. Macsales.com has a bunch of these type of products and may be a good resource to see if your adapter will work. Good luck.

Its working fine in my early 2011 macbook pro. Strange that they are stating this now?

It works fine -- I am running mine like that on a 500 gigabyte drive that used to be in a Macbook Pro,

5400rpm and it is a perfect fit for the original I ha in my son's MacBook PRO (his old one died). This was a memory upgrade to the 500GB. The only thing I had to do was move the mounting pins from the old to the new and plug it in. It worked like a charm.

While I've never installed one in an older MacBook, I see no reason it shouldn't work. No promises though. And that said, it won't fully take advantage of the speed of the SSD because it will be limited by the 1500mbps SATA bus in the MacBook (this SSD can perform sequential reads of 4000mbps).

It worked great with Mac Book pro 17" 2009 .. And conectirs on new mac book is the same ..so im sure it will work with yours abd with any SSD drive ..

Yes I swapped in a Crucial 512GB M4 SATA. Thunderbolt works fine but believe it or not the USB3 interface had faster read times!

Hi, I am not sure but when I came to buy mine, I went to a website called: newegg.com.. there, u can search for ur harddrive by putting in the features of ur laptop and seeing what would b compatible. Another way is to call the apple helpline and they r usually very helpful even tho they wont have ur harddrive in stock anymore. after u purchase ur device, make sure to research 2009 step by step installation or chat with an apple representative as the majority of the guidelines online are for later versions now. Unfortunately I cant remember what the steps r but I remember the process of obtaining the information and I hope I was of help. :) good luck.

It didn't work for my mid/late 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook Pro. Wrong connector. Amazon gladly refunded my purchase. After much research (it came down to close examination of caddy connector photos) I found one, bought it and it fits perfectly.Generic 2nd Hard Drive Ssd Caddy Adapter for Asus A8js F3sc F3jr F5sl F7se 12.7 Ide to Sata sold by happy-buy2020 through Amazon.

No special adapters needed. I have the 480gb version of this drive in my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15"

It's NOT SATA2 compatible in MacBooks or MacMinis: it will connect @ SATA 1 speeds on those, always, no matter what.
