Any other SDD with a larger capacity that will work?
Thanks
As long as the drive can be slowed down to Serial ATA (3 Gb/s) you should be fine with any of them. Just ask your seller first.
Is that possible also with an Macbook from early 2009 ?
Thanks

Don't know of any MacBook coming out in early 2009. Are you sure you don't have '08 model.
Yes, its possible, there is one caveat here you need to make sure the SSD can match the systems speed. Your system most likely has either a SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) interface ('08 model) or a SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) interface ('09 Unibody model). You may want to check out which you have here: EveryMac - MacBook's
As an example this SSD: Samsung 750 EVO supports all three SATA speeds.
But before you make this jump make sure your investment works for you. Remember this is an older system which has limitations. Review the EveryMac entry for your system it will offer additional details.
