)Īnother CHOICE for you would be an SSD, if you can locate one of those. (I hope the cable takes care of the drive. You could still install and boot a system through USB (USB 2.0, so also relatively slow), but that would mean that you would always have an external USB hanging off the side. If the hard drive is not recognized, even after the drive ribbon cable is replaced, then it's possible that the ATA drive controller is dead. It does not use SATA, but uses an ATA connection. It's maybe not a good choice for a system to "see if you like Mac".įinally, the hard drive does not use USB.

You are also limited to a really old Mac OS 10.7.5 (Lion), which is the newest version you can run. Just something to think about: The tiny hard drive is a 4200 rpm, not a speed demon by any measure. (Makes almost no sense to part out that tiny hard drive, which only matches up with your same MBAir, no other Macs used that tiny device - but, whatever ) I think it is the same drive that was used in the iPod Classic, sold during that same time period, IIRC. The only Mac that can use that tiny hard drive is that A1237 MBAir that you have. So, the A1237 was only sold new for 10 months in 2008. That "new" model, which replaced your A1237, was now model A1304. Sold new from Jan to Oct of 2008, the model that replaced yours had an SATA drive - still 1.8-inch, but won't work in your older MBAir. Your A1237 (Original MacBook Air) is unique, the only one that used that 1.8-inch ATA drive. The Toshiba MK8025GAL appears to be a correct device to use in your MBAir.

MacBook Air "Core 2 Duo" 1.6 13" (Original) - SERIAL NUMBER - W88121PVY51
Here are the exact specifications for my MacBook Air. Is there something special I can do perhaps in terminal? I was also careful in my research and found this hard drive on ebay by comparing its own Toshiba model number with Apple's model number 661-4493, which is suitable for the very first early 2008 range of MacBook Air according to this merchant.Ĭan some one tell me if I ordered the wrong Hard drive? Is it possible I need a "SATA ZIF hard drive" instead? In disk utility it also does not display the Toshiba MK8025GAL hard drive as a source. I placed this hard drive inside the notebook carefully and checked all connections and made sure all ribbons are correctly placed. But when I tried to install OSX Snow Leopard the Install utility can not detect the installed hard drive. I ordered a replacement hard drive "Toshiba MK8025GAL". I purchased a preowned MacBook Air A1237, SERIAL NUMBER - W88121PVY51, where its hard drive was removed.
