Sata Hard drive in osx?

Hi,

I've just bought a new Mac Pro (quad core 2.66ghz, 250gb HD, 3gb ram) and I'm looking into buying another internal hard drive for storing samples and logic projects (I just upgraded to Logic Pro too :Blushing: ).

I've done quite a bit of research and I've decided to get a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB storage, 32mb cache.

However on the WD website it says that SATA drives will not be compatible with OSX. Yet, I thought I read a few reviews by mac users, is it really incompatible or is there a way to make it work?

Have any of you had any experience using this drive? Or is there a better one to recommend do you think? I'm looking for 700GB+

Cheers,

J

fender1100,

I can't understand that at all - all new Macbooks running OS X use 2.5" SATA hard drives. I know, I have one and recently installed a new SATA hard drive in mine.I think your Mac Pro would use a 3.5" SATA drive. Just to prove it, here's an Apple ad for a Mac Pro SATA drive - not suggesting you buy it (probably too expensive since it's sold by Apple), but just to show you that Apple does use SATA hard drives in the MacPro... http://www.store.apple.com/us/product/MA989G/A?fnode=home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/storage&mco=Nzk5Mzg&s=alpha
