I have installed more than 50 SSDs in the last year, and I now only use Samsung. Others have various performance issues. I have not had a single complaint from my clients and the install goes easily with only the rare exception.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My desk is always full of cables. Often I have to crawl behind it to find the wayward cables. No more! Now they sit dutifully waiting to be used, and no more run-aways!

This little adapter has been a life save on many occasions. Having a split technology family makes it a pain to have all the cables for trips. This little adapter works perfectly and helps eliminate cables!

I installed this drive in a cheap netbook I use regularly (SATA2). It made a huge difference in boot time even though I am not able to make use of the drive's full performance. Write times seem to be a bit slower than othe brands though, hence the 4-star instead of 5.

Great sound for a small speaker. Only problem was registering it. Monster says it's a counterfeit product. I doubt it, but who knows.

Will this drive install in a Mac pro tool six core 2.93?

It works fine in my Mac Pro 3,1 8-core (Early 2008) so I don't think it will be a problem.

Does this work with in a MacBook Pro mid-2009?

I have installed this into a Macbook. I had no problems. Use something like SuperDuper! to clone your drive using a USB-to-SATA cable.

Does it come with the necessary Sata 3 cable and caddy? If not, how can I get them for my laptop? Also, if I have windows 10 on my computer from an upgrade, will it change back to Windows 8.1 or will the clone software take care of that?

It does not come with a SATA cable. If you are installing it in your laptop, you generally install it in-place of your hard drive. I would suggest a USB-to-SATA cable to clone the hard drive onto the SSD first, before trying to install it into your laptop. You will not need the USB-to-SATA cable after cloning is complete. The drive comes with a CD containing the transfer software, but I would suggest downloading it from Samsung's website instead. Do not use the software that comes with the USB-to-SATA cable, use Samsung's.

It will not change your installation to Windows 8. You will have all the files (OS, Programs, and DATA) just as you had before the clone.
