Hello, My HDD is having SMART issues so I have to replace it. I am wondering what HDD are compatible with my MBP. Thanks, C
Any 2.5" SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) drive will work in your system. Your choices are a standard HDD, a hybrid HD (SSHD) or a SSD. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The HDD is the cheapest option per MB of storage, followed by the SSHD and the most expensive is the SSD’s.SSD’s are the fastest of the three, SSHD are next and the HDD is the slowestHDD’s & SSHD drives don’t handle bouncing around unlike SSD’s which are least sensitive. I would recommend going with a SSHD as it does offer a faster boot up. SSD’s are quite expensive when going with the bigger sizes. Here’s the Seagate drives that will work in your system: Seagate 2.5" FireCuda SSHD and here is the Western Digital product: WD Blue 2.5" SSHD note the WD only offers a 1 TB 2.5" drive
