Use of a 2.5-inch SSD in a 3.5-inch drive bay requires an adapter bracket such as the NewerTech AdaptaDrive: here
Use of any SSD in an external enclosure is dependent on the power available from the enclosure: OWC Mercury Electra 6G and Mercury Extreme Pro 6G SSDs are engineered for use in any OWC Enclosure that supports 2.5-inch SSDs.

Special note for specific 2009 iMacs, 2008-2010 MacBooks, 2008-2009 MacBook Pros & 2009 Mac mini: We highly recommend the use of a SATA 2.0 (3Gb/s) SSD such as the OWC Mercury Electra 3G for the following Macs:
- iMac9,1
- MacBook5,1
- MacBookPro5,1
- Macmini3,1
- iMac10,1
- MacBook5,2
- MacBookPro5,2
- Macmini4,1
- iMac11,1
- MacBook6,1
- MacBookPro5,3
- MacBook7,1
- MacBookPro5,4
- MacBookPro5,5
While a 6G SSD does function, it will only do so at SATA Revision 1.0 (1.5Gb/s, 150MB/s) speeds rather than the SATA Revision 2.0 (3.0Gb/s 300MB/s) speed the computer can deliver. The Mercury Electra 3G SSD is the OWC recommended upgrade option for the Macs listed in the special note above.

OWC Mercury Electra 2.5-inch SATA III SSD 7mm Solid-State Drive

Delivery in good time. A day later I ordered the cable to go with it and they both arrived a day later... superb.
Has improved the performance of my MPro so well worth the effort. Apple certainly donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t make it easy for an amateur to change items within the MPro.

250GB OWC Mercury Electra 6Gb/s 2.5-inch SSD Serial-ATA 7mm Solid-State Drive

After reading a number of articles to Speed up my Mac Pro 1.1 it recommended that one should buy a OWC SSD drive Mercury Electra 6G. Really fast drive. I bought one online from Flexx Memory, great value, very fast service ordered the previous morning, came the next day, what a service. I can highly recommend this company and will purchase from them again.
