[QUOTE="s2odin, post: 1133962, member: 176525"] Well it's probably because it's a 12.5mm drive. I'm pretty sure Macbooks only take 9.5mm hard drives. It's the fact that that extra height allows for another spinning platter, so it gives increased capacity but slower speeds. The drive is basically too big (physically) for the computer. (I'm not a Mac pro but thats what I'm guessing) [/QUOTE]
