You don't. Just follow the instructions to do a restore (disk clone) and the new ssd is just like the old ssd. Once you complete the new ssd installation, then perform the in-place upgrade as you would normally.

You can boot from a disc in the Thunderbolt sled. Hold the option key at boot and it will find all the boot drives. You select the sled.

You may download an installation program on their website, on support area. There is a driver for mac.

You *should* be able to provided you set it up that way. Format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and, partition is with the GUID Partition Scheme. After that, use CarbonCopyCloner or your other favorite copy SW to clone your entire system to the external drive. You can boot by either choosing the external drive in System Preferences &gt; Startup Disk or simply hit the Option key during boot up as that will show you the bootable disks available - choose the external drive. It may be possible to do a clean install onto the Thunderbolt drive by choosing it during a fresh system install but you'd need to have Mavericks or Mountain Lion on a Thumb drive or something and as you install, choose the Thunderbolt drive as your destination drive during install (bypass the internal Mac drive completely).

Yes. Bear in mind that the pre-2010 iMac models do not have an add-on option if I recall correctly, meaning that you will have to completely replace your previous HDD (or SSD if you had previously replaced it). If you are confused about the installation process, here is a great link that gives an overview of the steps necessary: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=842548 Likewise, it never hurts to check with the manufacturer since they are the ones who give you your warranty on products. Check with Mac and/or Crucial tech support if you have any specific technical questions that you may have.

The lasted firmware v1.5 was pre-installed! But you don't mind if you install new OS. If using this SSD for Macbook, you may be need download TRIM Enable software to turn on TRIM function.Good luck for all!

Yes. You can download the Mac Installer for OS X 10.10 Yosemite from www.pandawireless.com.

Yes. I did it on my MacBook Pro 15 2008. You use the DISK UTILITY in OS X to create the single partition or more in the HFT format. Then the new SSHD is able to be selected as the hard drive to restore all your data via Time Machine.

Two things I can think of: 1. The end with one usb should connect to the enclosure and both usbs from the other end should connect to your MBP. 2. For the SSD going in the enclosure, connect it to the top of the case before putting it in the enclosure (that way you can make sure all the pins or whatever are lined up and fully connected). Hope that helps.

I think you can find very helpful information on this page. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/macbook-pro-retina-display-faq/macbook-pro-retina-display-13-how-to-upgrade-ssd-storage.html

Everything is working fine for me with Yosemite OS, very happy with the drive.

What he's asking for is to hook up the drive and look at the device list where it will list out the model of the drive inside the enclosure. On a Mac, check Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info... -> System report -> Storage -> look under "Physical Drive". On Windows, probably in the Device Manager somewhere.

I don't think there's anything special about this drive that would make installing OSX difficult, I put 10.8 on mine just fine. Make sure you partition/format it first with Disk Utility so it has a GUID partition table and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.

I don't know MAC/Snow leopard, but it is treated as any other USB storage device.If your mac can handle USB flash drives, or USB external disk drives it should work just fine.This device is Screamingly fast as well as large. transferring data from it via USB 3.0 to an internal SATA solid state drive, it reaches speeds approaching 300MB/sec.This device is also quite expensive (~$300).If your machine can not handle the speed you could buy more storage cheaper.

When I used the software that came with the SSD, it only copied the data. You can set up a second partition with a partition program after your done.
