Solid State Hard Drive For Macbook Pro 2012

Upgraded from a 2012 MacBook Pro with a dual core processor to the 2020 MacBook Air with a quad core. That plus having a SSD hard drive instead of a traditional hard drive has made using a Mac fun again. Ordering was easy and computer arrived via FedEx in 2 days.

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.

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).

My 2012 MacBook Pro is now new again.

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

Cost effective cable for migrating my old hard drive to new solid state drive.

I use it with my 2012 MacBook Pro. No complaints.

I purchased this external hard drive so i could back up my 2012 MacBook Pro with time machine. I was able to format the drive for the time machine and had absolutely no issues doing it. I was also able to partition it so it can also be used as a regular drive so i can store photos and videos. Out of the box, the device was flawless and powered up immediately when i plugged it in with USB. No power adapter necessary. When it's running when its recording or reading, its silent and there are no vibrations or rattling noises. Considering the 4TB storage capacity and the fact it's not SSD, this is quite a small device. I've been using Western Digital for over a decade and have never had any issues. In my opinion, they are the best devices and i would recommend them to anyone. They are the best bang for the buck!

Bought this to replace the optical drive with the stock 500GB drive that came with my 2012 macbook pro, stuck a 240G sandisk SSD in the original hard drive bay. works like it should only problem i had was a stripped one of the tiny screws getting the optical drive out, this has nothing to do with the product but should be know those little screws can be damaged easy so take your time!

I purchased this drive to upgrade a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro. It works as advertised. My machine boots to the desktop in 15 seconds; total load time (including startup apps) is 27 seconds. A HUGE improvement over a mechanical drive.
