Will this work as a bootable drive on a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006)?

I have a Mac Pro 5,1.Yes it will work as bootable, but not fast to load. Also, you can't use option to select drives on boot. It's a bit of a PITA.

It will *not* work as a boot drive unless you have at least the 3,1 MacPro (early 2008).

Stephen, Sonnet stated that the limit was the early Mac 2008. On my Mac which is an early 2008 Mac Pro, when I installed the card, you where able to see the SSD but I wasn't able to boot the SSD so I went to their support page and downloaded a firmware upgrade and now it does does boot and works flawlessly.

Yes, the drive is compatible with a Mac, you'd just have to reformat the drive for the Mac file system, not a big deal to do though.

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.

I'm assuming there's a typo here... The MacBook Pro was not released until 2006. Prior to that, Apple made a similar laptop called the PowerBook G4... which would not be compatible with this drive. All MacBook Pros, excluding the "Retina" models, will work with this drive.

As long as your MacBook Pro meets this requirement:Supported Operating SystemsMac OS X v10.5 and aboveIt should work just fine.

I'm pretty sure that you can. In fact I believe any internal HD with a SATA interface will work. I am using a SanDisk SSD 480GB drive in mine as a startup drive for my iMac.

I've managed to get it working well on a 1,1 Mac Pro, so I imagine you should have no trouble at all.

assuming the instructions have MAC logo, but versions of OS not specified, it should work. if not i'm sure amazon would accept returns

Hello - not being a Mac person I do not know for sure but I would be very surprised if it did not. You might not even have the issue I had with the not booting. I would Google My Book on Mac Pro - good luck

pretty sure the answer is yes. the mimiting factor isn't necessarily the hardware, but snow leopard. Instructions for boot from a thumb drive are here:http://www.maketecheasier.com/create-mac-snow-leopard-usb-installer-disk/the HD should also work.

Yes, it will work as a SATA 1 with no problem. You will not get 6GB/sec, but it will still be faster than anything else the macbook pro has seen <G>. Don't know what OS you are running. In the windows world, XP does not support the TRIM feature of the drive natively. But there are some 3-party utilities that can perform that function. Win7 and 8 support TRIM, and certainly the more recent Apple OSes do as well.

Yes. It will and opening it up is so easy I maxed out the RAM. I put a new HDD all works great leopard OS 10.5 worked well on it

This Drive is NTFS formatted so it will not work on MAC. For MAC system you will need either FAT32 or MAC journal formatted.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

As far as I know as long as the system is sata. It should work for any operating system. The mac uses sata so there should not be a compatibility issue.

It can't be used as internal drive of MacBook Pro. The solution is only Change another brand of harddisk.
