Hello All,

I'm looking to purchase an INTEL X25-M G2 80GB SSD as my boot drive for my 2007 MAC PRO 1,1 Quad 2.8... What will I need in order to install this drive ?
Are the SATA connectors compatible ?

I'm hoping to get some definitive advice here - I've searched all over and most people have detailed how to install them in Nehalem or 2008 models...

What do I need to make this happen ?

THANKS

Mac Pro 2007 i rev. 2,1

All you need is Kingston SATA 2,5" to 3,5" carrier: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817991007

Put the drive inside and then mount it as you with regular 3,5" drive. That's all.

Yes it will.
Just need an adapter if you don't want to cable tie it.

Hey thanks for the advice,

I see the Kingston adapter is Unavailable at Newegg ? Any other recommendations as to which adapter I can get ? Does it need to be one of the Metal Sleds from MAXUPGRADES ?

Also, I've heard of the issues with BOOTCAMP ? How do I know that I am getting one of the newer revisions of the X25-M that have the firmware issue resolved ?


Thanks again
