Is this hard drive compatible with my mac?

I'm looking to buy this for my mac and I was just wondering if its compatible. I have a 2010 white unibody macbook. Thanks!

No link - but it's as long as it's USB then the answer is almost certainly yes.

Edit : Wrongly assumed you were talking about an external, need more info.

Not sure what you're looking at with no link or description, but you can find what you need here at OWC.

Yep, no problem. I take it you want to swap out the drive and put the old one in the enclosure?

Exactly! And use the old one for time machine backups.

Exactly! And use the old one for time machine backups.

Or, if you have enough space, make a clone backup with something like Carbon Copy Cloner. If not then use for TM.
