Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Don't believe everything you read - these drives have a bad rep for use with OS X due to incompatibility with earlier firmware versions.
This drive shipped with 1.27, which worked flawlessly in my ancient Mac Pro (MacPro2,1). My system now boots in under 5 seconds, as opposed to just under 30 with the original stock 7200RPM drive.
The speed difference is unbelievable - running XBench and NovaBench both before and after swapping out the original 7200RPM drive show a 10-fold increase in some drive speed tests, and nearly 100-fold in others.
Put simply - if you can afford it, there is no better upgrade you can give your Mac Pro.
