Can I use this cable to connect an IDE old Toshiba Laptop Hard Drive to be read on my Macbook Pro?

Yes, if you have a USB port on the MAC. This is a handy little device to have in your tool kit

If your Mac has a port that matches either end of this cable, yes. If not, then no.

Yes this cable is usable with any sata hard drive, including old style sata. It is backwards compatible.

This is a tricky one as ive never heard of that particular hard drive, but if its a 500gb drive, it should use one of the three connection types on this reader.. that being said if the hard drive isn't working, I cant guarantee this will make it work. Ive got a lot of hard drives to read using this though, so you SHOULD be good to go

Absolutely. That's the exact reason I bought this cable and I use it with an "old" portable hard drive that is micro USB powered (My Passport 500GB from 2010). I've had it connected for at least a year and it works like a charm. I hope this helps!

SATA or IDE can be connected and copied on to a temp location and transferred to Mac, I have 2 of my SATA hard drives one from desktop and the other from laptop Cheers!

No you can't, this is for macbook. And also otherwise the quality of the cable was crappy, it stopped working on 2nd use. I don't encourage anybody to touch this piece of garbage.

I am not an expert. I believe any Sata 2.5" hard drive should work. I have purchased several WD HDDs and Toshiba HDDs (2 of each) and they are all working perfectly. I use them for external hard drive storage and daily use. You might try to replace wit a Toshiba (but you surely can use either) as Toshiba is what Mac seems to use. The most important thing though is that its Sata 2.5"

Hello, I use it on a mac pro, but when I install the hard drive from my old imac worked fine, the connectors are the same.

It should - I believe that MacBook has a FW 800 port. You will need a FW 800 to 400 cable - the enclosure has 2 such ports. It also has a USB B socket, but file transfer would be slower than FireWire.

Yes, you can. I used this cable to capture media from a JVC to my MacBook Pro.

Steven, I removed the optical drive from my MacBook Pro and in its placed I installed a Hard Drive. I ordered this part to connect the removed optical drive and still use it with my laptop through a USB port. It works as though the optical drive is installed inside the Mac. All you need is this connection.

Yes as long as the interface of the "old hard drive" is IDE and not SCSI or MFM. No ribbon cable is needed.

Yes. Usb ports on all computers may not supply sufficient power to run the drive. But these should work. To work on Mac or Chromebook you may need to reformat the hard drive once you plug it in. Personally I only purchase Toshiba portable hard drives, but any device can fail. For insufficient power on your usb port (HP laptops and cheap laptops are notorious) you could get something like a Y-cable (ASIN: B005M0ICG2).

I do not believe so. This cord was purchased to replace a missing cord for my Mac Book Pro.

You will need a 400 to 800 cable, and your data transfer will only be at the slower rate; apart from that, you shoudn't have any problems. As I write I have an 800 disk connected to my MacBook that way.

Well you probably should not have chosen this drive. It's not trivial to connect it to a Mac. This drive is primarily designed as an internal PC drive. Depending on the ports available on your Macbook, the best way to connect this drive is to get a drive enclosure that holds a SATA drive and has an external connector for firewire or USB. I think a newer Macbook has only thunderbolt and USB.
