Will this hard drive work with my macbook?

I have a late 2006 Core Duo Macbook. I was wondering if I could use this hard drive with my macbook, it's a 7200 rpm 200 gig hard drive. Btw I mean internal not external. Does the macbook have a limit on how big of a hard drive you can use? Would this hard drive work at 7200 rpm in the macbook?

Hi.
The drive will work perfectly in your macbook. Two weeks ago i was also thinking about buying the Hitachi Travelstar 7k200.
But afterwards i bought this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136123
The WD Scorpio 250GB. Off course it´s not as fast as the Travelstar. But for me three things we´re quiet nice about this harddrive: the noise (it doesn´t make anyone) and the price (got it for 150 euro) and it consumes way less power (means better battery life).

BTW: It really doesn´t make any noise.
So just in case you´re still unsure whether to buy the Hitachi or anything else. But if you want the fastest notebook HD you can get today, buy the Hitachi.
Have a nice day and fun with your new HD!

    perhaps apple uses more than one hard-drive?

  • Will this hard drive work with my Mac Pro?

    Just looking for confirmation that this hard drive will work with my Mac Pro:

    Thanks

    Hi Fred,
    usually any 3.5" form-factor SATA-connected harddisk works in a Mac Pro.
    So I don't see any reason for this harddisk not to work.

  • Will this external drive work with my macbook?

    I'm thinking about investing in an external hard drive, is this one compatible with my original Macbook Pro?
    http://www.amazon.com/Iomega-Portable-External-Drive-34945/dp/B003D3NDD2
    (side question, I've never used an external HD before. Will it just mount on my desktop and I drag and drop files?)
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes it will work . Most HD are preformated for windows machines so I would definitely reformat. More info: http://db.tidbits.com/article/10307
    Might want to think bout partitioning if you have the space. Maybe one partiton is for making a bootable clone with carbon copy cloner. http://www.bombich.com/
    I do not believe 10.4 is time machine capable- otherwise I would recommend that as well.
    Backing up is a good strategy. Congratulations for making the step!
    Yes drag and drop into your empty partition.
    Hope this solves your problem

    Hi TheKMan,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Yes; it says it will work, but I didn't give us the size. I never really recommend anything from CompUSA, especially non-namebrand hardware. I have bought/seen a lot of CompUSAs products that don't work (need to be returned). The only thing that I like about CompUSA is that they have a great return policy.

    No, it will not void the warranty. Installing a new drive in a MacBook is a DIY project. Apple even provides a manual on how to do it.

    Hi a,
    Yes. It is 9.5mm in height, which was my only concern.

  • Will this Hard Drive work with My Wallstreet?

    I was looking at buying a Seagate 60GB UDMA/100 5400RPM 2.5" 9.5mm NBB HDD does anyone know if this will work in my 300 mhz Wallstreet?

    Jean,
    If it is the model # ST960822A, it should work fine with the caveat I have read no negative comments on it regarding its use in the Mac. Physical dimension is no problem plus it has the correct ATA/100 interface.
    If you are planning to put OSX on the Wallstreet, any drive larger than 8GB requires a partitioning of the HD so the first partition is less than 8GB and reserved for OSX.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
    I have even read a few reports of OS9 requiring this same partitioning but it seems to be quite rare. I have never experienced it...I have put OS9 all over my Wallstreet's 20GB HD. If you want just one volume of 60GB, install the new HD, initialize it with OS9's Drive Setup using MacOS Extended (HFS Extended) Format, then install OS 9.x. If it fails to boot to the new HD, please post back, although I do not believe you will have any problems.

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.

    Well, there are different versions of Sata.  See:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA#Revisions
    I think this is the info someone would need:
    You may want to post machine info.
    blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the word hardware.
    Leave out the serial number.
    Example:
    Machine Name: iMac
    Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
    CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
    Number Of CPUs: 1

    Look around & see if you can find the bus speed for the SATA.
