I just installed this in my mid-2012 MacBook Pro over the weekend. We use the 850 version in all our desktops at work for the last 3 years and they have been solid. The only drawback is the lack of software for Mac.
Quick and hassle free migration from HDD to Samsung EVO 860 SSD on aging desktop
I have a nearly 9 year old CyberPower desktop with an Asus P6T Motherboard and wanted to eliminate a potential point of failure to eek out a little more longevity. And if I got some enhanced performance, all the better. Turns out it was a very good move.
Is this compatible with an early-2011 MacBook Pro?

Answer:
Yes. It should work just fine in any laptop that accepts 2.5" SATA drives. For MacBook Pros, that means machines through the mid-2012 model. Don't forget to move your Torx screws over to the new drive!
