Yes, I have a MacBook pro 2013 no retina, and it fits properly leaving a lot of space too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hello Ronnie: I'm a Windows jerk, but like and respect Apple products, but I'm not familiar with Apple models. Does it have a hard drive? I'll bet it does:-) 1. First of All remember, SSD's never need, (the manual says 'never') to be de-fragmented!!! Period! If it is really gone bonkers, 'reformat' the drive. I had one instance where I filled it up and it got squirrely. 'Fragmentation' is not possible. Each sector is numbered and operationally there is no difference in speed between the two sectors furthest from each other - which are virtually next door to each other. Example: If you dial a mobile # - the called party might be in your backyard or 1,000 miles away - it doesn't matter. A NEW SSDrive HAS TO BE FORMATTED, which can take anywhere from 3 to 30+ minutes depending on the settings you choose, speed of your computer, etc... With the Apple OS, one must select the choice specified for by Apple in the instructions in order to 'play nice' with other Apple devices. Windows 8.1 can use any of the format settings, but I personally prefer NTFS with a sector size setting of 2048; because I store thousands of digital audio tracks and my read & write ratio is about 97 to 3 (playback to record). I personally recommend reserving 10% of the drive for processing speed and another 10% for internal maintenance which is automatic. And do not - repeat do not use 100% of the capacity. I once came within about 98% usage. The drive kept working but it was more like limping along. I removed files to take it back to 85% and it was smooth sailing again. 2. Consider buying a USB-Flash drive that's 128MB or larger. They are faster and more reliable than analog drives and they work just like SSDrives but not as fast but faster than an analog drive and they don't require 'defragging' either. Best wishes, and if you're storing lots of digital music files like I do; consider using the highest resolution, lowest compression OGG file format. It's larger than the best MP3 but only 1/5th of a Wave file and sounds just as good and sometimes better. Q is the amount of compression where a lower number is higher compression and a higher number is less compression (48-bit dynamic range, 48,000bits per sample, 200K-500K bits depending on compression settings and audio content. Most of my tracks never reach the 500K factor and therefore have little or no compression. I abbreviate the settings and tag the filename with my designation of ;B48Q10K500Z48.OGG Hope all of this helps and you already have and are enjoying your new SSD.
