Before installing I have the application "FTools" Hitachi downloaded and burned and then connect the drive to a standard notebook.
After you insert the burned CD DOS Applikaton starts and you can see the data transfer of the SATA interface of 3 MB / s Reset to 1.5 MB / s.
After the installation proceeded smoothly into the MacBook Pro. The plate was immediately recognized, Lion of the previously fired Start CD be played (duration about 40 minutes) and about Time Machine, the computer automatically with all data and programs of Alt-Installaton configured (duration about 3 hours). Has over cloning the advantage that there is now a "fresh" system.
The drive is in operation super quiet, just like the original Mac drive! No comparison with the meantime employed Seagate hybrid drive, which has enabled the whole desk in vibrations and running in operating bugged by hangers! The 7200 revolutions we have seen in the Travelstar only in the form of a flash ring access times, but not the noise. The warming is much less than in the Seagate and the battery life again top!
Short and good,
This hard drive model is 100% recommended for MacBook Pro, only one should make the correct adjustment to the SATA speed of the computer before the installation as described ...
