i figured out too late after installing the newer 6G version, that the macmini 3,1 sata controller (MCP79) won't allow 6G or 3G negotiated speeds, but instead knocks it down to only 1.5G. That'd possibly be ok if only used as external usb2 drive (waiting for a newer machine for example), but it's not fast enough for internal sata. so i returned the 6G for the older 3G model which does allow 3G speed -- that was the ticket...i also bumped memory to 8Gb, but the ssd steals the show with boot and launch improvements, along with overall snappier browsing experience. i am having more crash inducing application freezes in word, chrome, and some utilities, but i hope that gets sorted with the adaptive circuitry getting situated on the drive.

I purchased the OWC 240GB Mercury Electra 3G SSD 2.5" Serial-ATA 7mm Solid State Drive to replace the original hard drive of a MacBook (13", Aluminum, Late-2008), which at the time was running Mac OS X 10.6 (Lion).I thought this would be an easy upgrade, but it was considerably more complex than I imagined, but I got it working after two days of doing a lot of researching and experimenting, so it's all good.Removing the original hard drive and installing the OWC SSD drive is easy, but getting Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) installed on the OWC SSD drive took a few experiments and some research.The problem is that Mac OS X 10.6 (Lion) does not recognize SSD drives, and its version of Disk Utility does not recognize SSD drives, so although there was some information about the OWC SSD drive in System Information, it basically considered the OWC SSD drive to be an "unknown" device.I had the install disk for Snow Leopard, but it's older than Lion, so it was no help, although its System Profiler provided more information about the OWC SSD but still considered it to be an "unknown" device.Connecting the dots, I removed the OWC SSD drive and reinstalled the original hard drive, which I then upgraded from Lion to Yosemite, followed by doing a bootable backup of the original but now updated hard drive to a LaCie d4 Quadra external drive using SuperDuper! (Shirt Pocket), which took about two hours.Then I removed the original but updated hard drive and reinstalled the OWC SSD drive, followed by booting the MacBook from the LaCie d4 Quadra drive using the bootable image from the previous step.The Yosemite DIsk Utility was able to see the OWC SSD drive, and I used it to format the OWC SSD drive for "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", which took just a few minutes.I found some information about creating an installer USB drive on a memory stick, which involves downloading the full image for the Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) installer, and I did this on a MacPro using a 16GB USB memory stick and the single-command Terminal technique, but the broadband cable service currently is a bit flaky, and I am not convinced that the downloaded Yosemite installer image was good.The USB memory stick Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) strategy did not work, and for reference I tried it several times.After a bit more thinking, I realized that I could use SuperDuper! to backup the bootable image on the LaCie d4 Quadra external drive to the OWC SSD drive, and this took about an hour and a half, at which time after doing a shutdown and disconnecting the LaCie d4 Quadra external drive, I started the MacBook from the OWC SSD drive, and everything is working nicely now.Now that I know how to do this, I think it can be done in one day if it requires upgrading a hard drive to Yosemite; creating a bootable drive image on an external drive; and then using the bootable drive image (a.k.a., "backup") to put an image on the OWC SSD drive.Depending on the speed of your web connection, upgrading to Yosemite can take a few hours; and it takes a few hours to create a bootable backup on an external hard drive using SuperSuper!. Then it takes a few hours to do the restore once you have partitioned the OWC SSD drive.For reference, the OWC SSD drive was not the problem.The problem is that Mac OS X 10.6 (Lion) has no clue what an SSD drive might be, and it's the same with Snow Leapard.The OWC SSD drive was and is fine, so it just needs a version of Mac OS X that is "born knowing" about SSD drives . . .After the upgrade, which also included upgrading the system memory to 8GB about a week earlier, the MacBook is "peppy", which is great!P. S. The NewerTech 14-Piece Portable Toolkit has the tiny tools that are required to do both the system memory and OWC SSD drive upgrades, so it's a smart purchase for these activities.P. P. S. Since the OWC SSD drive does not use the "TRIM/KEXT SSD Hack", it works nicely in Mac OS X 10.10.5 (Yosemite). OWC SSD drives use the LSI/SandForce controller, so tinkering with TRIM is not required.

I trust OWC also know as Mac Sales, I emailed this Company and they verified that they are the same as OWC. I will not buy from anyone but Mac Sales OWC for my MacBook Pro Retina and all my macs. They have always been very kind and answer all of my questions and they go out of their way to make sure you get exactly what you need. The Prices cannot be beat. And their Products are ROCK SOLID as Apple Brand. Nothing goes in my Mac Machines but OWC brand. This SSD just brought NEW LIFE to one of my 2008 MacBook Pro 5,1 Late October. I also Bought previously 8GB RAM which OWC says you can max out at 8GB. Apple says 6 GB for some reason , OWC turned my old mac into a FAST MACHINE. For CHEAP. It would have cost me 4times if I bought thru Apple. I paid $400 from apple for 4GB of RAM and then found the same RAM at OWC for $100. Someone first told me about OWC after I told them how much apple charged me for RAM. That's how I found OWC. Never been disappointed either. Their Customer Service is 2nd to none. Not to mention they have the best DIY videos.

Upon plugging this in nothing happened. So we put in the included CD and let it run its evil ones and zeroes. When it said to restart, we did. Big mistake. Upon reboot we couldn't even get to the desktop. We tried everything, and eventually had to reinstall Windows jut to return the laptop to something other than a paperweight.

Installed in the optical bay on my Macbook Pro (2011). Incredible speed increase (boot time and application launch). OS and applications are on the SSD. My music and movies are on the spinning disk in the original bay. There is also an increase in battery life. One caveat, which has nothing to do with the drive, Yosemite effectively disables SSD speed increases. I've learned that Yosemite only works with Apple SSD drives that have a sensor chip. 3rd party drives do not work well with Yosemite. Went back to Mavericks and all is well. I see this as an Apple being Apple flaw. Waiting for the prices to drop a bit more and will replace the 750GB HD later.NOTE: I still run bootcamp on my original spinning disk. Mountain Lion is still installed on that drive as well so I can manage the bootcamp. I spent a couple of days trying to get the Mavericks bootcamp app to work with the Windows installation on the HD and it was a fruitless endeavor. I even went as far as command line editing the boot configurations with no luck.

Plopped into a 17" Early-2009 MacBook Pro without issue. Have had experience upgrading the hard drive in the laptop previously, so disassembly was straight-forward, and once the old spinning platter drive was out, this SSD dropped right in. Did a fresh install of OSX Mavericks and have been quite happy with the performance bump. It does not make it perform like a brand new laptop, but it is noticeably snappier and keeps my 17" usable five years into its life.

This has made my early 2008 MacBook Pro fell like new again. I installed this OWC SSD with some extra memory (from 4gb to 6Gb RAM) and really pleased with the results. My very old and struggling early 2008 MBP is like new again and a pleasure to use.

Made a whole difference in my mac performance.

Easy to install; made my computer so much faster!

Installato sul mio Imac 2009, e ha messo le ali. Tempi di consegna veramente ininfluenti, inoltre questo prodotto è stato acquistato in sostituzione di un SSD Samsung non adatto al mio Imac. Rimborso e consegna impressionanti. Non credo che avrei risolto così efficacemente in un negozio "normale".Grazie

Dopo una fallimentare prova con un HD a stato solido Samsung, ho installato questo sul mio vecchio MacBook 13" del 2008. Risultato: un computer di quasi 10 anni che sembra risorto a nuova vita. Consigliatissimo!
