Upgrading Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) HDD

Hi friend,
I want to upgrade my Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) HDD. I need to improve the capacity and speed for my recording music and digital painting. The problem is I don't know what type(s) are suitable or a good place(s) to get one (I live in the UK) I've been looking on amazon.co.uk.
Suggesstions, links and instructions are especially welcome. Thank you.
Matt

Hi,
Not really a suggestion as such, but I have just installed a WD Scorpio Blue 500gb HDD myself. Unfortunately I've been having some issues with it and started a topic on this site to find an answer:

I thought you might be interested as it could affect your decision.

  • MacBook Pro mid 2009 HDD to a Kingston SSD SATA drive - Problems

    Hi
    I own a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 and I'm running OSX Mavericks with Windows 8.1 Pro Bootcamp.  I wanted to upgrade to an SSD drive and after reading the great reviews on Amazon, I purchased a Kingston 240GB SSD 2.5" V300 SATA 3.
    Many of the buyers had installed the SSD drive on Macbook Pro, including "mid 2009' models without any real problems but I've just spent the best part of 3 hours trying to install the drive but so far, it has not worked and the problem seems to be that, although the Acronis True Image software that comes with the drive to 'clone' the source drive and install it onto the destination drive (new SSD drive), I get a message which states, "WARNING:  After migration, the O/S will not be able to boot from the destination disk in the BIOS - If you want to boot from the destination disk after migration, you need to enable UEFI booting in your system and then restart".
    During one of my first attempts to install the SSD drive, I removed the original HDD from the MBP and installed it in the supplied 2.5" caddy and and connected it to the MBP via the USB cable supplied then installed the new Kingston SSD SATA3 drive in the MBP, powered up and then rebooted.  The Acronis bootable software launched and after choosing 'clone disk', cose source and destination drives, I got a message saying:  "The selected disk will be migrated as is (disks layout will remain GPT)".  "After operation completion, operating systems will not boot from the destination disk in the BIOS".
    My system has the latest available Boot ROM Version (MBP.00AC.B03 and the SMC Version is 1.47f2 and as far as I am aware, Apple computers have no BIOS that you can access like on Windows computers and instead use EFI instead.
    Both drives had Extended Journaled GUID Partitions on them and what baffles me is that other buyers of these Kingston SSD SATA3 drives appear to have managed to install the SSD drive, but I've had to give up.
    I would really like to get the SSD drive working but so far I've failed.  Any advice would be appreciated and I'll try it out before reluctantly returning the drive for refund.

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes the Acronis software is Windows but I read through a lot of reviews on the Kingston SSD SATA 3 drives Amazon and from what I can gather, after removing the original drives and installing that in the 2.5" caddy and then installing the new SD drive in the Macbook, those buyers then used the software to boot from and clone the source drive to the new drive.
    I'm not sure if I mentioned it in my first post, but I did use the Disk Utility in Mac OSX and erased, formatted and partitioned the drive and then pushed CMD + R at start up but I was not able to install a copy of the OS because the drive was not recognised.
    I think I also used the disk utility in Windows and then tried again in OSX but no luck.  I'm no expert but as stated above, the issue seems to be that the SSD drive is not booable in the BIOS (or Mac equivalent).
    The SSD drive is SATA 3 and I'm sure that the SATA ports are SATA 1 on my MBP and maybe that the problem Perhaps someone can confirm this. 

  • Upgrading Macbook Pro (Mid 2009) to SSD help....!!

    Hi all,
    I'm new to doing any upgrades myself and consider myself a real novice with things like this. I have a MacBook Pro 13' (Mid 2009).
    Ok, so I've purchased Crucial 8GB DDR3 RAM (2x4GB) and a Samsung 840 250GB SSD. I am happy with changing the items over but require help in recovering my system afterwards.
    I am thinking i would like to do a clean install as i have collected so much rubbish on my hard-drive over the past 5 years. I have all my wanted data from my HDD i.e. iPhoto library, iTunes library and documents saved onto my 1TB external hard-drive.
    Will i need to copy all of my applications etc onto my external hard-drive also and is there anything else i should be copying to make my life easier?
    I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10 and have watched a few video's on installing this onto a USB flash for rebooting.
    Is this the best way for me to configure my new hard-drive? I have downloaded carbon copy cloner but don't believe i require the whole amount of data currently held on my HDD (100GB) and have no idea what i do and don't need from it to enable me to reboot with OS X Yosemite and all my required applications. I presume once i get to that stage i can just reload Microsoft Office from disc and transfer my iPhoto library, iTune's library and my documents from the external hard-drive?
    I hope this makes sense and somebody can help me to configure my system correctly, hopefully i'm nearly there?
    Regards
    Steve

    The best choices would probably be:
    OWC (MacSales.com)
    OCZ Vertex 3
    Crucial M4
    Samsung 830
    Given the age of your computer do not attempt to install an SSD for 6.0 Gb/s interfaces. Your computer only supports up to 3.0 Gb/s drives.

    My   Macbook pro mid 2009 just  has 2 GB Ram I want to upgrade 4 GB Ram Is it possible in Apple store

    Apple usually doesn’t sell RAM for older Macs. You’re probably better off buying it from a source such as OWC or Crucial and installing it yourself.

  • Can i install 1TB to macbook pro mid 2009

    hello,
    i have a macbook pro mid 2009, 2.66ghz 2 duo and i want to install a new HDD
    can i install 1TB??
    what is the biggest HDD storage that the notebook can handle??
    and how do i install my mac os x to the new HDD?
    thank you.

    The MacBook Pro's take 2.5" SATA hard drives. If you are going to replace the drive, now would be the time to upgrade to a 7200rpm drive; about the largest capacity you will find is 750GB.  Also, since this will be your main hard drive, stay away from any green or blue drives; the supposed energy saving features will also reduce performance.   May I suggest looking at OWC for their recommendations about hard drives for your specific model MBP.
    You install OS X via the recovery DVDs that came with your MBP.  One is for OS X, the other contains the Apple applications (iLife, etc).  Of course, that will install the version of OS X that originally came with your MBP (a 2009 MBP probably came with Leopard 10.5).  If you don't have the recovery DVDs, or want to install a later version of OS X, then I suppose you will need to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD and install that before upgrading to Mt. Lion.

  • How to make a MacBook Pro (mid 2009) work properly with a 3M Streaming projector?

    Ok, so I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2009), a 3M Streaming projector and very annoying problem.
    When I connect my MacBook Pro with a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to the 3M projector, I get a pink tint, like a filter over the image, it’s very frustrating.
    This are the tests I’ve done:
    1. I tried the adaptor and the projector on a different (more recent) Mac -> It worked fine.
    2. I tried connecting my MacBook Pro to a different not HDMI but VGA projector -> It worked fine.
    3. I used some Terminal code I found on the web to force the Mac to send RGB signal, don’t know if that has anything to do with it, but I tried anyway -> Didn’t work
    So I’m confused, it’s not the physical port of my MacBook cause it worked fine with a VGA projector, It’s no the 3M projector and it’s not the Mini Displayport to HDMI adaptor cause it worked fine on a different Mac.
    So what is it?
    I’m totally desperate, I haven’t been able to solve this problem, so if you guys can help me you will be my heroes.
    Thanks.

    Yes as Clinton says this is correct.
    I've used a Sata to USB connector which is only a few pounds instead of an enclosure for the clone, but then I wasn't keeping mt old HDD. But that's an option if you don't need it.
    I also use Carbon copy cloner as this will clone your recovery partition as well. Apples disk utility will also clone drives but I'm not sure that it copy's the recovery partition.
    I highly redomend my Samsung 840 pro 256Gb - it's about the fastest drive you'll get (nearly) but is backed by Samsung's unrivaled SSD reliability and 5 year warranty. I've also used an 840 basic model on an older macbook and was equally pleased.
    Crucial's drives are reliable mac friendly drives but are somewhat slower on the write speeds vs the 840 Pro.
    I'd avoid OCZ drives due to so many failures across their range although they do have great reviews and some models just edge the Pro on speed although it's fairly negligible.
    As Clinton says, avoid the Samsung Evo drive. I wanted to buy this drive as it is a great drive - but there are many users that have had compatibility issues with it when installed in a Mac. This may rectified on a future firmware update possibly, but until it's proven I would avoid it for now.

  • Yosemite Issues on Macbook Pro mid 2009

    I have a macbook pro with a 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of Memory. I have more than enough HD space. Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite, I have been having issues with running my mac. It runs super slow, every program takes 5 minutes to open. If I open iTunes and iPhoto, I might as well walk away and come back later.
    This issue only started happening with Yosemite. Is my system to old to handle it? Do I need to upgrade or what can I do. I'm a web designer and user Photoshop and all of the adobe programs a lot. I can't sit and wait 10 minutes to open a program, please help.
    Thanks,
    Francisco

    Hey, I do not have the exact same problem but trying to update to 10.9.2 causes my macbook to be stucked in black screen + curser after boot up. I have looked through forums for an answer but nothing worked for me (such as reboot, reset NVRAM, disk verification, disk/permission repair,  password entry, control-option-command+8, fresh osx 10.9.2 install). To be sure that my disk is properly working, I have installed the original snow leopard os, this worked fine. I also could access the recovery console.
    To be able to use my mac I have now restored to 10.9.1 from my TM backup. Dont know if I should report this strange behaviour to Apple. Maybe there are others who have discovered the same issue?
    Let me know pls.
    cheers.

  • Help on installing Snow Leopard on Macbook pro mid 2009

    I have macbook pro mid 2009 with 10.5.8 upgrade as latest. I am planning to install snow leopard on it. However before i do that i will upgrade the hard disk to 500gb and ram to 8 gb. As i never done reinstalling os on mac My question is
    Should i install the original os first (which is leopard) and then upgrade it to snow leopard and backup my files from time machine ?
    or
    Can i just install snow leopard and back up my files from time machine?
    Thanks for your answers in advance

    I would upgrade your system to Snow Leopard first, then backup the entire system to Time Machine. Then upgrade your hard drive install Mac OS X 10.6 then on the set up screen (Do You Already Own a Mac?" click the button that states "from a Time Machine backup".

  • Change Hard Drive MacBook Pro mid 2009

    My hard drive is dying (the beach ball appears, concurrent with a sound that can only be described as a squeak, coming from, I assume, the hard drive. Then, the beach ball freezes and the machine can only be revived by a hard restart)
    My Question; can I put a Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003, 750GB, Bulk 2.5 ", 8GB Flash, SLC, 32MB Cache, 7200 U / min • SATA III 6.0Gb / s in a Macbook pro Mid-2009 15"?
    Would be very grateful for a reply

    Ask as many questions as you like, OK.
    Basically yes they are all backward compatible except for the drives and or firmware on the drives that refuse to be backward compatible. Which drive they are I have no idea but mostly they are SSDs and not spinning HDD. The transfer rate on any spinning HDD is slow enough, even on the XT series, that if you have a SATA II bus the drive can't really fill it up, IE can't go over its theoretical Rated transfer speed and or the actual data rate it can handle.
    The problem occurred on 2009 MBPs because some of the original cables used could not handle the extra data rate the XT series drive could deliver, both reading and writing to the drive.

  • How to improve macbook pro mid 2009

    i got Macbook pro mid 2009 with processor speed 2.26GH and memory 2GB and storage of 159GB. running maverick 10.9.4
    Its slow and battery do not last more than hour.
    Any suggestions?
    is it worth upgrading it or buy new one.

    That model has a max possible RAM fo 8GB (two 4GB modules). As long as you are not doing anything heavy-duty, 4GB (two 2GB modules) is probably OK for Mavericks. I have on MBP running Mav on 4GB with no indications it is struggling for more RAM.
    Only buy RAM from a trusted Mac RAM reseller. I use Other World  Computing (their RAM listings for your model are here):
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3
    Crucial.com is also good. Avoid Kingston ValuRAM. It has never been happy in Intel Macs. You will get the right RAM from either vendor. Can't say that for brick-n-mortar electronics stores. Too hard to find one with a resident geek who speaks Mac.
    Installation is an easy do-it-yourself task; all you need is the right screwdriver. Handy video here:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody/
    As for the battery, there is a built-in utility that will show the current condition. Click and hold on your Apple menu. Hold down the OPTION key and the first item with change to System Information. Launch it. When it comes up. find "Power" in the left-hand contents pane and select it to get a battery report.      Looks like this:
    Copy the information I've outlined in red and paste it into a response to your thread here. Those numbers describe the current condition of the battery.

  • Aperture 3.5 and Mavericks on MacBook Pro mid 2009

    I feel a bit unsecure whether or not to upgrade to Mavericks as long as there are reports about problems with Aperture on older machines in version 3.5. I currently run Aperture 3.4.5 on my MacBook Pro mid 2009 with 8 GB RAM with OS 10.7.5.
    From the discussion I have understood that I have to upgrade to Aperture 3.5 when I upgrade to Mavericks.
    Is it safe to upgrade, or is it better to wait.

    Frank Caggiano wrote:
    Yep as with any new release there are people reporting problems.  Some are legitimate some are the normal noise every new release seems to draw out.
    And again I will state that for the majority of users 3.5 and Maverick is working fine. To state as you did that this is another low point for Aperture (when were the other low points in your opinion?) is really not much help.
    The last low point was Aperture 3.0. It created chaos. You must must have been around then and saw it. Introducing faces and switching it on by default killing performance which combined with the memory leaks then crashed Aperture corrupting the libraries etc.
    It needed 3 0.x updates in 2 months to get it functional (and then with work-arounds). Here's the first couple of lines from the updates:
    "Aperture 3.0.1 update improves overall stability and addresses a number of issues in Aperture 3, including: upgrading libraries from earlier versions of Aperture, importing libraries from iPhoto, importing photos directly from a camera, memory usage when processing heavily-retouched photos, face recognition processing,"
    "Aperture 3.0.2 update improves overall stability and fixes issues in a number of areas. The key areas addressed include: upgrading Aperture 1.x and 2.x libraries, importing libraries from iPhoto or from earlier versions of Aperture"
    "Aperture 3.0.3 update improves overall stability and fixes issues in a number of areas. etc"
    It wasn't until October that we finally got:
    "Aperture 3.1 update greatly improves the overall stability and performance while fixing many major issues"
    And since then it's been superb again. Until 3.5.
    I don't come here to bad-mouth Aperture, I come to help and learn. The OP expressed concerns about the upgrade based on stability issues reported here. Working with Aperture every day, I concur, I'm encountering the issues daily (because they affect areas I use) and to me it's been a step back closer to the 3.0.x days (but not as bad) rather than a step forward.
    But I'm just one person. If others report they are not seeing the issues, that will help the OP get a better balance.
    But I believe in calling it how I see it and despite being a huge Apertue fan, the 3.5 issues have dissapointed me. It seemed to be a simple maintenance update, but has only created issues for me, not added or solved anything I need. I only upgraded because it seemed sensible to install the 'Mavericks' version after installing Mavericks. But if I could go back to 3.4.5 I would. I simply think Apple did a poor job here and see no reason to say otherwise.
    But I detect from your post that my post may have antagonised you, so let me apologise for that as it was not my intent. I have a lot of respect for you regulars, and all the help you give people.

  • Can't enable Handoff in my macbook pro mid 2009

    hey buddies
    I finally upgraded to OS X Yosemite with my macbook pro mid 2009 but.. i kind of upgrade because the handoff and continuity options paired to my iphone 5
    I see in many reviews and blogs that I need to open System preferences > General > Allow handoff.. but THERE'S NO ALLOW HANDOFF option....
    here in the picture below you can see that there's no option for that..
    what should I do? is there any issue with that?

    There is a tool available, unsupported by apple that enables this feature on older Macs. I have not tried it yet as I don't have iOS 8.1 installed, but people are claiming it works to enable on unsupported systems. As usual, use at your own risk. https://github.com/dokterdok/Continuity-Activation-Tool/

    My optical drive is non-functional and I want to dual boot with win7. The only problem is my macbook does not boot from USB at all, even when I hold th ALT key down when it is starting up.
         -I have a flashdrive with win7 on it.
         -I mounted the ISO of win7 with toast for bootcamp to do its thing.

    Good luck.
