Can anyone tell me, before I spend the cash, if this drive will work in my A1297 MBP 17"? 2.5" Hybrid Hard Disk 2TB Seagate Firecuda ST2000LX001 I know the 1TB is tested but don’t know if the 2Tb will work. Many thanks in advance.
Hold that thought! Review your system this FireCuda drive is a fixed SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) drive. Depending on your exact system you may have a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) interface in your system (Core 2 Duo and i5) or have a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) on the very last series of 17" models (i7). The older Seagate SSHD drive was auto sense which would work across either SATA II & SATA III systems.
