What 1TB HDD can i put in Macbook Pro 3.1 A1226

Hi
I want to replace my HDD in my Old Macbook Pro 3.1 A1226 - I have done this before , so that no worries
However Just need to know which HDD is Compatible , I am looking for a 1tb HDD, Not SSD as to expensive for that size .
Maybe the new HGST 1TB  " http://www.hgst.com/travelstar-7k1000 " or something Similar
Will this one work - it's the correct size 2.5" 9.5mm thick but I do not Know about the SATA I , II, III - Mine is I believe Sata I , 1.5GBs link speed
So question is Can i put different SATA versions in are they all Backward Compatiable , would they just run on a Slower speed ??
Can someone recommend best Drive for my Computer
Thanks All in Advanced
Mark

There are only three major drive manufacturers left standing. You choices at that 1TB size in laptop form factor are few.
HGST stands for Hitachi Global Storage Technology, same as Hitachi, which bought IBM's drive business and the Deskstar and Travelstar brands years ago
WD is its own company,
I think Toshiba's drive operations disappeared into Seagate.
Would you be better off dividing your files into two groups -- those that you need to be portable, and those that could be on an external drive on your desk?

    The largest 2.5" dia SATA drives available are 2 TB in capacity.
    Have you tried the Seagate SSHD connected externally to the MBP via USB?  The drive itself may be faulty.

    Can't speak about avid, since I am not familiar with the software.
    You can certainly use FCP X on that machine. It should work better if you use a fast external drive for your media and projects.
    There is a free trial, so try it out and see how it goes. You should also follow some good video tutorials, if you are not familiar with the application. FCP X is a lot different from Avid, Premiere or even Final Cut Pro 7.

  • What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for MacBook Pro A1278 Early '11

    What is the largest hard drive I can upgrade to for macbook pro A1278 Early 2011?  I have seen 750GB on some websites, but I would like a 1TB  I am looking for SATA 6.0GB, 1TB 7200.  Is this dependant on the physical size of the hard drive? I have seen a height of 15mm and 9.5 mm.  How do I know what will fit??

    I have not seen any 7200 rpm 1 TB HDDs.  They all are 5400 rpm.  I would say that this HDD comes closest to your requirements.  Tomorrow, there may be others.

    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • I can't start my macbook pro because I turned it off when I got a trojan on my mac. When I turn my mac on I get the message that my computer restarted because of a problem. Then it turns off again and turns on again and it starts all over. What can I do?

    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery

  • What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?

    What is a good video editing software I can use on my MacBook Pro?
    *also, It would be great if I could edit multi-channel audio on the software
    Any suggestions?

    probably THE best software is Avid Media Composer. It's an industry standard for Feature Films, Television programs and commercials.
    Professional editors and producers around the world have told them what the software needs to succeed.
    -More efficient and easy-to-use video editing tools. An open platform that enables you to work with everything you want and integrate into any workflow. More power to eliminate bottlenecks, so you can work faster than ever.
    -Create 5.1 and 7.1 surround mixes directly within Media Composer, or import from Pro Tools (watch the video)
    I own this NLE and it truly is the best out of all of the editing programs I've used.
    ** It's quite expensive though. But worth it if you want the best!
    ~$2,499.00
    Another option would be Final Cut Pro. The little brother of Avid MC. I have Final Cut Pro X and I am very disappointed with it. It’s not an update of the existing Final Cut, which is one of the most popular programs; it’s completely new and radically redesigned. It looks different, its strengths are different — "and after one day of using it, many professional video editors are running through the streets with pitchforks."
    Final Cut Pro X Review - NY Times
    ** It's a good starting program if you just doing editing that isn't quite as demanding as feature films, TV programs and commercials. Many editors have been moving away from FCP after the release of the current version. However, It is a lot less expensive than Avid MC  
    ~$299.99
    Personally, having both Media Composer and Final Cut Pro X, I would go for Media Composer if it's in your budget. Definitely worth the price!

  • How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    How can i change my macbook pro keyboard buttom english to arabic

    Apple does make and sell MacBook Pros with Arabic keyboards but, as far as I know, they're only sold in the Arabic market. You may be able to special order one: I don't know. You may even be able to order the keyboard only online or at your local Apple Store and have your English keyboard replaced. Again, I don't know.
    The best thing to do, if you're in the US, is to call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE. Tell them what you need and see how they might go about fulfilling your needs.
    Good luck,
