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.

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.

Upgraded to these OWC SSD's on my wife's 2009 Macbook Pro 13" and my (late 2006) model iMac intel core 2 duo. These are a bit on the expensive side but work very very well and now both our computers are running like champs! I had to buy an a AdaptDrive 2.5" to 3.5" adapter to fit the SSD properly into my iMac but it was worth it and it fit like a glove. The install on my wife's Macbook was simple (took about 30 min, not including the cloning of the HDD). My iMac and my wife's Macbook now boots up in less than 20 seconds as to about 1 minute before the SSD install. Running programs like Adobe Lightroom and Adobe photoshop are no problems now. I highly recommend these OWC SSD's.

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.

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.

This has breathed new life into my wife's 2007 macbook. Her computer was crawling... I purchased a memory upgrade and this SDD and reinstalled OSX Yosemite. Now her computer feels like brand new. It's very fast and should extend it's life significantly.
