[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1474068, member: 24098"] I wouldn't put any data I cared about on a Toshiba hard drive. Your MacBook Pro supports just about any 2.5" SATA2/3 hard disk. SATA3 (6GB/s) is only important if you're shopping for an SSD (which it doesn't appear that you are, given that you're going for a 1TB drive). Personally, I'd be looking at a 7200rpm drive, even if you have to take a slight loss in terms of capacity (you can always use your old drive as an external). Stick with Hitachi, Western Digital or Seagate (in that order) if you want a reliable drive. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
