No, that MacBook requires a 2.5inch drive and this one is a 3.5inch drive.

No. macbooks use 2.5 inch drives. unless you plan on using this in a external enclosure. it would be a feat to see someone stuff this in a laptop

I don't think so because I believe the MacBook Pro uses a 2.5 inch HDD/SSD while the WD Black is a 3.5 inch HDD. Check your manual or with Apple support to confirm.

Yes, it will. Only thing that needs to be done for Mac users is to format / erase the disk first time before use. The disk is by default in read only mode. So to have full access, 1. Install the WD Mac App (comes inside the WD Passport folder after you plug it into your Mac) 2. Access the WD utilities 3. Erase the disk and change format to ExFAT. Disk is ready to use!

It should be working fine if you format it correctly.
