We highly recommend the use of a SATA 2.0 (3Gb/s) SSD such as the OWC Mercury Electra 3G for the following Macs:
iMacs w/ Model ID:
- iMac9,1
- iMac10,1
- iMac11,1
MacBooks w/ Model ID:
- MacBook5,1
- MacBook5,2
- MacBook6,1
- MacBook7,1
MacBook Pros w/ Model ID:
- MacBookPro5,1
- MacBookPro5,2
- MacBookPro5,3
- MacBookPro5,4
- MacBookPro5,5
Mac minis w/ Model ID:
- Macmini3,1
- Macmini4,1
While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather that the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver.
The Mercury Electra 3G SSD is the OWC recommended upgrade option for the Macs listed in the special note above.
