In my MacPro, all four HD bays have drive in them.How complex is the power cable installation then?

I have the 2 port one in my Early 2008 macpro. Just plugged it into the PCI slot and left the power connection empty. Works great.

Googling MacBook hard drive type came up with a SATA connection, so this should work.

I'm sorry not to be able to answer you. My Iomega eGo Mac crashed before I could find out. It went Kaput. I bought a Seagate.

Yeah, you do. I got a sata to 4 pin adapter for the power since my Mac Pro doesn't have any extra power ports. I'd check out the cal digit options. Their a little more expensive but don't require extra power. I've read mostly positive reviews of them. Again I'm on a Mac so there isn't as much support for USB 3 in older machines

It really can't be easier to do, it's plug and play on any mac. I'm a video editor and this is actually my favorite hdd brand. I have read several bad comments but beside the ones I own @ work we have about 15 of them including raids and smaller discs and it's been about 3 years and no failure so far ( we use them 7 days a week some we never unplug or disconnect)

If I'm not mistaken it should work. I installed the 1TB in my Mac Pro which has sata 3.

These drives are designed just for Mac with Thunderbolt, and in fact are not supported on PC at this time. So these are ideal for Mac users (must have Thunderbolt) and the Thunderbolt cable is included with the drive. The MAC PRO DOES NOT HAVE THUNDERBOLT. Thanks Jeff

I installed my Apple 1TB drive in my Mac Pro. I suspected my primary drive was failing, so I moved it to bay 3. Then I put the new drive in bay 1. I had not installed a drive in a Mac tower for about 6 years, but I found instructions on the web that made each step extremely easy to carry out. Time from start (unplugging Mac), through installation of drive and some more memory, to power on was 1/2 hour. My OS X on the old drive was circa 2011, so I did a fresh install of a updated version of OS X on the new drive and transferred personal information from the old drive. The system upgrade was more difficult and time-consuming than the physical installation of the drive. I installed my Apple 1TB drive in my Mac Pro.

Sorry, I've stayed with PowerPC. There it works fine. It may not be a bootable USB connection on your Mac Pro. First see if the card is physically compatible. If you can't use a PCI card in your Pro, you need to find another solution.

Yep. I did the same thing. Bought this case and a cheap BluRay reader/DVD burner, had it all assembled and hooked up to my MacMini in about 10 minutes. Works great.

There are four drive bays on the front of the case for installing removable media drives or accessory panels. I have a DVD drive in one bay, and a USB/card reader panel in another. I haven't used the other two bays.

I've used both the 1&2 TB in my early 2008 MAC Pro; they work prefect. No issues to report.

First buy the thunderbolt connector. It is less expensive to buy it from Apple. I then purchased an external disk drive. Good luck

If you plan on installing more than one hard drive, you will need power cables for any extra drives.
