![]() bīut then I put the drive in my Mac Pro Tower (Thankfully the 2006 model Mac Pro supported the file system because I was able to install 10.11 on it), and I can read all of the data perfectly. This all makes sense, the drive is 5 years old and gave out. Then, it tries to boot Windows and gives me a IO error claiming my HDD is failing. ![]() It tries to start, and shows a circle with a slash meaning no bootable system found. I have Windows installed, non bootcamp, and this won't start anymore either. This happened 2 times and was fixed by restarting each time. It started with Mac OS Freezing or becoming slow and unstable. Obviously, buying a used hard drive is always a risk, and after about 10 months of solid performance it decided to stop working. It was only 475 dollars, and suited my needs well because of the disk drive and easy upgradability compared to new models of the MacBook Pro. Last year I bought a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro from eBay, with 8GB RAM, the original 500GB HDD, and an i5 2.5GHz CPU.
