Best Solid State Drive For Macbook Pro 2008

This is my second WD 1 TB drive, and I use them to both store and backup photos from my MacBook Pro (with solid-state storage). Even with lots of RAW files, the transfer rate seems fast. It is small, and easily stored when not in use. There is nothing about this drive that I would change.

Just installed this drive in an old 2008 MacBook Pro. We all know a 7-year old computer is considered ancient, but not with this drive! SSD has to be one of the most important improvement to personal computing in recent years and this drive is excellent. It's very, very light and a breeze to install. The computer is so much more responsive and usable and with 1TB, I don't need to carry around an external drive. It almost feels like a band new computer. This is a much cheaper and very effective option than buying a new computer. I highly recommend! B&H shipped very fast!

Solid state drive worth it.

This is my first MACBook. It is expensive and can not be upgraded after purchase - two big bummers. But it works flawlessly and has all the speed I was hoping for. I use it to create giant panoramas in Photoshop, starting with as many as 15 exposures. What took as much as 15 minutes to process now takes a few seconds. I have a lot of PSB files, gigantic. They save in less than a minute rather than 20. At home, I operate it clam shell style. I had no problem hooking the MACBook up to larger, calibrated screens, though I had to buy a boatload of converters. One way I could have saved money would have been to have purchased a much smaller solid state drive; maybe one TB. No solid state drive is big enough to hold all my photos. So, purchasing a conventional, inexpensive peripheral drive was necessary anyway. A harddrive that is configured for both PCs and MACS turned out to be the best way to go; though now I have about 3TB of unused solid state drive on the MACBook, a waste of money.

This device makes a solid state drive (SSD) compatible for a Mac Pro. The hard drive slides that come with the computer only mount 3.5 inch drives. This enables you to take advantage of the new SSD's fast speed and reliability. It comes with four mounting screws so that you can mount your SSD (sold separately).

This is just what the doctor ordered to accompany my new Mac Pro. It is not as fast as a solid state drive but more than adequate for editing HD or storing video files. I also have a bunch of RAW photos on there as well that are easily and quickly editable in Lightroom.

excellent little solid state drive - and powerful

Used this to install a 2.5 SSD drive in a 2008 Mac Pro.

I used this drive to clone a laptop hard drive to a solid state drive. Worked well.

This will be my 3rd MacBook Pro since 2008. It’s everything I need and nothing I don’t. Seems like 2017 had too many features that I just didn’t use. Plus this one has an hdmi port.
