Use newer 2.5" SATA disks in a MacBook or Mac mini
I don't know about Intel Macs as I have yet to transfer to one. - However I do have a 1.st generation iMac G5 which uses SATA. Some time ago I exchanged the standard 80G disk with a 250G Seagate (model ST3250620AS). The drive is SATA II and had a jumper inserted , that forced it to SATA I specs. On a whim I removed the jumper inserted the drive and proceeded to format it. No problems. It has performed flawlessly for the past 6 months+. Is it faster now than if it ran as SATA I - I don't know, but it works.
Use newer 2.5" SATA disks in a MacBook or Mac mini
My HDD recently failed in the black MacBook and I have successfully replaced it with a new Segate 7200rpm SATA2 disk which is running beautifully. |
