Solid State Drives For Macbook Pro 2009

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.

Now my late 2009 MacBook run like a new one.

Fits perfect in my MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2009. I contemplated going with a cheaper product from a competitor, but I have used this OWC product twice before, so I knew it would fit correctly. Includes all the tools and instructions to perform this job.

My old MacBook Pro, circa 2009, finally died. I did not want or need such a big computer. I am very happy with the new MacBook Air

I have a very old MacBook Pro 17 mid 2009. The SSD was perfect for it. Sped up internet processing, acquiring HD files. Was able to install it myself. Formatted for APFS. Jim, happy customer

This drive fit perfectly in my old 2009 MacBook Pro. I reinstalled MacOS and migrated over and it is now the fastest Mac I’ve used! So happy with this purchase

I use this set use as a mirrored raid. Whats great about this is you can also set up a JBOD and put in old hard drives or other brands. You do have to unscrew the 4 screws on the tray but I can confirm WD hard drives work in this as well. Using this on 2009 Mac Pro using firewire for backs and also USB 3.0 on Macbook Pro. The last G- Drive I bought was in 2009 and it is still working fine after years of abuse.

Working well with 4 external drives attached to my MacBook pro

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.

(Please note I did NOT say a solid state NAS drive.) Seagate NAS drives provide great storage capacity, in a standard-sized package, and they're designed for NAS. Highly recommend.
