   Strange… The only drives that have let me down are the Western Digital. Seagate drives seem to go on for ever! Knock on timber! Woodrow Lister

   can you also use a “SATA II” hard drive?

   You can, but unless its a late 08 aluminum, or early 2009 white model the SATA bus is still limited to 1.5gbps

   So from what I see you just need a 2,5″ Serial ATA drive and you’re good to go.

   Hmmm…an independent Apple reseller that does their own in-house repairs might have some. Or you could try a well-stocked hardware store…

   Should have watched this before I replaced my drive without re-using the caddy.

   Does it give you an option during the install of Leopard to port the previous system’s Time Machine backups over?
