Special note for specific 2009 iMacs, 2008-2010 MacBooks, 2008-2009 MacBook Pros & 2009 Mac mini.
We highly recommend the use of a SATA 2.0 (3Gb/s) SSD such as the for the following Macs:
MacBooks w/ Model ID: - MacBook5,1
- MacBook5,2
- MacBook6,1
- MacBook7,1
MacBook Pros w/ Model ID: - MacBookPro5,1
- MacBookPro5,2
- MacBookPro5,3
- MacBookPro5,4
- MacBookPro5,5
While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver.
The is the OWC recommended upgrade option for the Macs listed in the special note above.
This OWC SSD Model is compatible with nearly any Mac or PC model with a Serial ATA connection (SATA, SATA 2.0, or SATA 3.0) including:
