As far as transfer speed or rotation rate goes, you can replace the drive with a standard 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM model. OWC has one of the best selections of drives to choose from.

Backup Hard Drive For Mac

My Macbook Pro 15' (2.8 due core) took quite a bump and it seems to have damaged the hard drive. I get the 'please restart' error upon startup and have tried everything in the world to fix it. My question is: do I need a speacial hard drive, or will any 2.5' laptop hard drive work? I have heard mixed reviews. I have been told that any hard drive will work fine, yet I have also been told that the fan will always run at high speed if I don't use an Apple specific drive. Please help.
Thank you.

Download free sims games for mac. While you can physically connect a Mac hard drive to a Windows PC, the PC cannot read the drive unless third-party software is installed. Because the two systems use different file systems for storage: Macs use the HFS, HFS+, or HFSX file systems, and PCs use either the FAT32 or NTFS. Luckily, if the drive type (e.g., SATA, IDE, or SCSI) is compatible with your motherboard, there are a few solutions to this dilemma.

External Hard Drives For Mac

Formatting a partition

You can delete a Mac-based HFS, HFS+ or HFSX partition and format it to be usable with a PC. If there are any files you want to keep, copy them from your Mac hard drive to another storage device, then review the page linked below.

Third-party software

Through the use of third-party software, Microsoft Windows can be configured to read a Mac hard drive. Free programs are available, but they have fewer features and are not as easy to use. One of the best free programs is HFSExplorer. If you are willing to pay, MacDrive and TransMac cost about $50. They do a good job of allowing users to view the contents of a Mac hard drive on a PC due to their user-friendly interfaces. There is also a $20 solution from Paragon called HFS+ for Windows.
