    Hard drive exactly as expected. Easy to install in my old MacBook Plus. If you have a 256G MacBook and the disk is more than 90% full, you might find that it starts to get very slow. You should probably not update the OS even if you can because that might make is slower.

    1. make sure that you have a time machine backup on an external USB hard drive.
    2. make a recovery disk on a blank USB. (Make sure you can plug both the recovery USB and the time machine backup USB in at the same time.) You might have to download “Recovery Disk Assistant” from Apple to do that.
    3. test that you can boot from the recovery disk USB by restarting you MacBook and holding down the “Option” key. That shows you the available recovery options. You should see your hard disk, a recovery partition on your hard disk (which you won’t be able to use because you will remove it), the recovery partition on the USB and (on more recent MacBooks only I think) you will also see the option to connect to a wi-fi network and recover from Apple. The last option is OK if you are desperate but it may be slow and you will need your Apple ID and password. Choose your USB recovery disk. You will find Disk Utilities (that you will need to reformat your new hard disk), a link to restore from Time Machine, and Safari, so you can get help from the web.
    4. If you are very confident of your backups, you may want to erase your hard disk now to destroy any sensitive information because you won’t be able to do it once you take it out.
    5. Shut down your MacBook, replace the old hard disk with the new one. Read a guide about how to do that on the web. You will need a small phillips head screw driver and a Torx T6 screwdriver.
    6. Reboot from your recovery disk.
    7. Reformat the hard disk.
    8. Restore from time machine backup.
    9. Done.

    Super simple to install. Powered up and started working. Can’t ask for more.

    Good price for security system NVR or as a backup drive.

    This HDD works great in my MacBook Pro. While most people covet SSDs, I want the large capacity of SATA drives and this 1TB 2.5″ HDD fits the bill (it’s a true 1TB drive with 999.86GB of usable space AFTER formatting … in the past I’ve bought 500GB drives that barely gave me 470GB of space and other 1TB drives that gave me 975GB or less of space).

    The process:
    (1) I used the cloning software SuperDuper! to make a [bootable] copy of the HDD on a Mercury Firewire Drive. That’s the longest part of the operation.

    (2) I rebooted the Firewire as the start-up disk to make sure it was bootable – and indeed it was.

    (3) I shutdown the MacBook Pro, removed the bottom screws (a couple of minutes), and once the cover is off there are only two screws to remove (a retaining bar) that allows you to remove the HDD. A quick swap, screw the bottom enclosure back on, boot-up and you’re good-to-go.

    (4) Next thing: just copy your bootable backup to this new Toshiba (much quicker, about 33% of the time, than the initial back-up). Once completed, just shutdown and reboot without the Firewire Drive connected. The actual swapping of the HDD took less than 10-minutes (don’t be afraid to do it yourself – don’t pay someone else over $100 to do it for you).

    My old HDD was about 63% full – so maybe that’s the reason – but this drive operates a bit faster than the OEM 500GB that I took out of it (no, I did not benchmark it but the speed increase is obvious).

    In summary, this SATA works great, was an easy replacement in my MacBook Pro, and the cost-vs.-capacity makes this a great “value” purchase.

    Pros:
    – Worked at install time.
    – Item received matched description.
    Cons:
    – Died after 105 days.
    I give it 1 star for being a working drive when received. 105 day runtime is completely unacceptable regardless of the cheap price. Drive was installed in stable environment. Not subject to excessive vibration. Operating temperatures average 40 degrees. Clean steady power from good quality UPS. No excuse for the incredibly short lifespan of this drive. Could be that I just had bad luck and got a rare bad one. I did order another of the same as a backup which is running now. Time will tell if this second one performs better. I do think it is suspect that I purchased this drive in December of 2023 and the manufacture date on the drive is January 2018.

    Works like a charm. Nice product and was as described in the ad. The pricing was fair and no problems just plug in and play. Thanks

    Da der Verdacht im Raum stand, dass die Festplatte meiner PlayStation 4 durch ist, habe ich diese Festplatte bestellt. Sie funktioniert, mein Kumpel konnte sie gut einbauen. Alles super.

    Used it to replace my old hard drive in my HP. Fit exactly, easy to install, and works good.

    I really don’t need 1 tb of capacity, but the price was a no brainer. In that regard, it makes a lot of sense to me. There are offers for hard drives of less than half the capacity of this one, selling for much more. I’m pleased with this purchase and has been working flawlessly since I installed it. Again, the price is right!
