need HD for my MBP 13-inch mid-2009 (5,5). Does it work well? Does it fit properly? The 750Gb also works?

Yes it fits. HDD's are a standard size so as long as you get the same size physically it will work.

G For me a no-brainer, 64GB +500 GB. I bought my 64GB a month before they started offering the 500GB keyboard and asked if I could trade-up or buy just the HD keyboard. They don't offer either. If you want to store music, movies, some older games, etc. the 500 GB is absolutely the way to go.

Mine is a Early-2009 27" and that's what I used. Bumped it up to 8GB, reloaded Mountain Lion and now it screams like a brand new machine. Can't imagine needing to upgrade the hardware anytime soon. Great deal.

I am using 512MB SSD by this adpater. any SATA 2.5" Disk drive can use. if do you have Macbook, It's good choice.

I think that it is optimal to buy this computer and a separate SSD 128GB, and replace the original 500GB, with that and a memory of 8GB DDR3 would be a bullet. best regards (sorry my bad english)

The one I bought was indeed 750gb. I have been very happy with the computer.

"Hi, I've installed this drive in my late 2010 MacBook Pro and it worked without problems.I don't know your drive, but according to this page: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HTS545025B9SA02-NDW-R it seems that it is a SATA drive.Since all SSD drives are SATA you should not have any problem at all by replacing it.Now, since your MacBook is 2009, the drive won't be able to deliver more than 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gbps ( it is capable of delivering 6.0 Gbps in a faster system such a Core I5 or Core I7) But don't worry, your laptop will be way faster than it is now.

I upgraded both the ram and the hard drive to a solid state drive.But bewarned it takes ddr2 ram which cost twice as much as ddr3 ram.Also I recommend getting this macbook because it heats up very fast and barely can run a 1080p YouTube video.You're better off saving you money for a better laptop.

If the Caddy fits into your MBP, you should not have any more problem. Probably, your HD is not initialised. You can create a partition and format it using the Disk Utilily App.

This is a standard sized drive. I swapped out the HDD in my MacBook Pro for this very drive with no issues at all.

This Macbook has worked well for me, with no issues to speak of. I am running Snow Leopard, so I cannot answer how the newest software will work.

I just looked at the required specs for a mid-2012 mbp 15" and this looks like it should actually work!! :)

I have a early 2009 MacBook Pro and the drive works perfectly. I hope that it will help you.

Yep, works great... we use the SSD for the OS and installed programs. Then use a 1TB drive for data. Very fast boot times with this configuration.

I can't speak for Life Span on this particular drive since I only have it for a month. So far, the unit work beautifully on my macbook pro 17" 2009. To be honest with you, I don't use it differently from the stock HD. I unplug the power cord, fold and put in my bag without quitting apps or shutting down and it wake up just fine. I can't even advise any Do & Don't for you. I've heard people concerning sleep mode issue and so on... The reason I pulled for this SSD. I've worked as a graphic artist for the last 18 years on apple macintosh. I've seen many HDD failed over the years. We've upgraded all our 9 mac pros to SSD since 2010. We use our macs 24/7 for production and they're very reliable and fast compare to stock HDD. So far, one failed after 2 years. Base on these facts, I can't imagine going back to HDD again. Yes, It's not 100% just like an airplane and that's why you always backup your stuffs. Finally, SSD 2014 are much improve than 2010. The # won't lie and I would buy with confident. Thank you for asking and good luck on your search,
