My MacBook Pro that’s 8 yrs. old and the TOSHIBA MK3255GSXF 320 HDD2H77 just failed. Finding an identical replace has been difficult. Can I substitute with a different vendor? My backup is Time Machine Capsule, will it have a problem restoring the data? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks

Almost any 2.5" SATA hard drive will work. I assume it’s about a 2009 machine. Here’s how to replace it and a selection of drives. Personally I really like the SSHD drives. MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2008 and Early 2009 Hard Drive Replacement 1 TB SSD Hybrid 2.5" Hard Drive
