Will this work on my 5-6 year old MacBook Pro?

Question

Accepted Answer

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer:

Any MacBook or MacBook Pro from that era and beyond will take a 2.5 inch SATA drive, which this SSD is. It's the same 9.5 mm height of most standard 2.5" HDDs as well, including what's probably already in your laptop right now.

After a few weeks of rigorous use, it's been working great. Very fast drive and I have had no issues to date, though not as fast as a M500. Runs Mavericks really well. I use the Trim Enabler app for TRIM support. It came from Newegg with the latest firmware, but I would check to make sure it's up to date to so that it works at its full potential, without too many glitches. You can put it in an external enclosure and check the firmware version in System Information. Under Hardware > SATA, look for Revision and it should say 070H if it's the latest version. Hope that helps.

Highly recommended.
