What is the largest SSD Drive for my MacBook pro 8,2?

What is the largest solid state drive I can install in my MacBook pro 15" (Version 8,2 - i7 2.3 GHz) with 8GB RAM I currently am running OS X 10.6.8 But I want to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 and perform a clean install with Mavericks and manually move my files off of my backup.
The Samsung 1TB  MZ-7TE1TB0BW looks nice but I don't know if it works well with my older MacBook Pro, just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.
Thanks

1TB is as large as you'll get. Crucial also makes a nice one, and I can speak for Crucial working well with a machine that's 2 years older than yours.

  • What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6?

    What is the fastest OP system for a Macbook Pro Retina 2.6? I'm new to Mac so please excuse the weird question.

    Ok but that is a feature that I think is available to older Mac's that have an SSD so it is not totally restricted to Retina models or even the newest models of Mac's.
    With that you could say No Mac is what you paid for without ML installed. Which I disagree with.

    Well, I am. Power Nap is just one of the features you don't get on a Retina unless you do run Mountain Lion.

  • What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account so I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a scan

    What is the best antivirus software for a Macbook Pro...I recently received a message from Google that someone made an attempt to hack into my mail account and I needed to change my PW and verify myself as the user.  The message suggested that I run a virus scan to check for sny malware or other types of viruses.  I do not have any software for this and up until now have not had a problem....any help is appreciated.  I would like a simple but effective solution!

    It's worth noting that if your Gmail has been hacked, it would likely have nothing to do with your MacBook.  Hacking web based email is fairly common and it doesn't require any access to your machine whatsoever.  In the same way that you can simply go to the Gmail webpage through any browser, any hacker can use the same method.  It doesn't mean your machine has been compromised in any way (and it has likely not been).  I have never received an email from Google of this nature.  I have received notifications when someone has attempted to create an account with my name in which they basically say that there is no action required if you're the rightful owner.

    What's best is relative to your expectations.  In my opinion, you don't need one.

  • What is the largest hard drive for a Xraid

    I want to get some more size out of my existing Xraid. Can I put 7 x 2 gb harddrives into one side of my Xraid

    Camelot is quite correct in that 750gb is the limit for PATA drives and officially supported drives in the Xserve RAID. You can get a PATA to SATA adaptor like this one http://www.c3-xtech.com/ or something from StarTech that will fit in the caddy and allow you to go up to 1TB per drive. Thing is although they are great bits of kit the Xserve RAID is long in the tooth now and the cost of doing this might make it a bit uneconomical.
    If you do decide to go for anything above 500gb in the RAID you'll need the last firmaware, I think it's 1.51c for the higher capacity drives to be recognised.
    Hope that helps

  • What's the best game controller for a MacBook Pro?

    I have a mid-2012, non-Retina, 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.5 Ghz i5 and 8 GB of RAM. My current OS is 10.9.1. I've played Starcraft 2 for some time without any problems, but there are a few newer games on the Mac App Store that look like they'd be no fun with a keyboard and mouse. I'm hoping people here have recommendations for the best game pads or controllers that are compatible with Mac.
    Please let me know if you have a controller that works really well for you, thanks!

    I like the Logitech Gamepad F310 for games on my Mac. You're right new games are much better with a game controller!

  • What is the default superuser password for a macbook pro

    I created a user account and I am the 'admin'.  When I type 'su' in a terminal window, my password is not accepted.  I also set up a 'master password' and
    this is also not accepted as the superuser password.  What can I use for the superuser password or how do I change it?

    By default, it's set to an illegal value. Unless the root user has been enabled, nothing will be accepted.

  • What is the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro

    I use the laptop in a variety of settings.  It gets really hot on my lap and was wondering if anyone has used a cooling pad they like for this problem.

    I'm sure someone will jump in with the best of the best. FWIW the MBP is not a laptop it is a notebook. And as you've probably read in your User Guide does not belong on your lap.

  • 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.
