Will 3TB SATA Hard Drives work in Mac Pros? Do they have to be 7200s? (Specifically my Mac Pro (early 2008) with 2 x 2.8Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeons)

    Yes. In fact, I have Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache drives running in the Quad-Core, 2006 Mac Pro (Model 1,1). Definitely will work in any newer model. There is no reason not to get 7200 RPM drives, as they are extremely cheap.

  • I went ahead and cloned my start up drive to the new 3T 5400rpm hard drive. As I write this my system is up and running with the new 3T start up drive! It worked with grace and ease and lots of room on my startup drive.
