Hello,

I have a soon to be 2 year old MacBook (purchased Summer 2006). Recently my HDD broke down. I am looking to replace it with a new, bigger drive.

After reading some How To's etc. on the subject I still have some questions, well two actually.

Is it correct that SATA II is NOT supported?

Would the Toshiba MK1637GSX 160GB SATA HDD be a suitable replacement?

Can anyone recommend a specific HDD? I would like it to have at least 120G, 160 tops!

Cheers!

Correct. Look at newegg.

According to Wikipedia, "The first step toward a better understanding of SATA is to know that SATA II is not the brand name for SATA’s 3Gb/s data transfer rate, but the name of the organization formed to author the SATA specifications. The group has since changed names, to the Serial ATA International Organization, or SATA-IO."

Second, you can put a 3Gb/s drive into your MacBook without any problem. It will only run at the MacBook's speed of 1.5Gb/s.

The Toshiba drive you mentioned will work fine. But I too, like NewEgg.com. Check there.
