Here's a bit more: Rocket Yard - 2011 iMac HDD thermal systemĪs such your system will not see the needed signal and ramp up the fans going into fail safe mode. So a real Apple drive has this special firmware & connections, any stock drive you buy won't have it setup as Apple is expecting. Here the drive makers modified their drives to met Apples needs. The 2011 iMac (either one) leveraged a set of pins (header) the drive makers had.

Different series of iMac's have done this differently over the years. The iMac's all use a thermal sensor on or within the HDD to learn the temp of the drive so SMC services within the system is able to manage the heat. Thanks in - I think he is confused -} YES it's NEEDED! I would much rather spend that extra money on a larger/faster disk drive that already has a built-in thermal sensor. I'm not trying to call you out at all.I'm just confused-which is it? Could you clarify for those of us that might be in this situation? Are there any SSHD's that do have a built-in sensor and appropriate firmware, such that no OWC cable is required? If so, do you know which brands/models are suitable? I am trying to avoid buying the OWC cable if possible, given the somewhat steep price for such a small part ($40+). But then elsewhere, you say that even with an SSHD, you'll still need the OWC in-line sensor cable ("Don't forget you'll need the OWC in-line sensor if you go with the SSHD!" - "You still need the OWC in-line thermal sensor cable." - ). In your comments above, you mention a couple times that replacing the factory HDD with a SSHD would not require the OWC in-line sensor cable ("get a SSHD that has the builtin sensor and gives you similar performance of a SSD" - "the SSHD has the needed built-in thermal sensor (you won't need the OWC cable)" - ).

status as "failing." In researching how to properly replace the HD, I've seen all the discussion (here and elsewhere) about the proprietary temperature sensing firmware etc. In Disk Utility, the hard drive (factory-original Seagate ST3500418AS, 500GB) reports S.M.A.R.T. Background: I have a mid-2011 21.5" iMac. So your SSD will work with USB 2.0 on your iMac, or need to buy thunderbolt ssd adapter or thunderbolt usb - I've got a question about some of the information you've posted. So conclusion don't use 860 EVO and 850 EVO with iMac (I have core i5 3,1). If you try to instal os to pure ssd, it's also will be with error.

You can start from internet recovery but you cannot do fusion drive, for fusion drive you should start from USB recovery, yes you can do fusion drive with 860 EVO or 850 EVO but then when will be recovery from time machine you will se error and time machine is stop, then if you will try install new system to you new fusion formatted disk, you will cannot install, not sierra, not sierra high, maybe el captain will work but you will see many error when install it (6 hours maybe), if you still install some OS don't start to be happy, because will be many errors and white screen. Symptomatic is next: When you connect 860 EVO (I check it) or 850 EVO (I didn't check it 850 EVO, so info for 850 EVO maybe not correct).

Hi, i have same issue, Beware iMac, don't work with samsung 860 EVO (Because samsung use unsupported new controller) also same situation can be with 850 EVO (i didn't check with this series), so optimal for upgrade without any risk will be use 840 EVO series.

do I need any software after installing the SSD (if possible) to control iMac's fan speed is it enough to change just the drives? (I mean HDD comes with a termal sensor, does the SSD need a termal sensor?)Ĥ. does apple allow 3rd party SSD's for iMac?ģ.


The ssd itself is 2.5 inch and I'm going to convert that drive to 3.5 inch drive by using a WD icepack which is sold on for about $20 usdįirst I'm going to attach the ssd into the WD icepack and then I'm planning to replace the original HDD that comes with the iMac by installing the SSD.ġ. It comes with a 500GB hard drive (ST3500418AS) and I'd like to replace (not add a new drive by removing the optical disk drive) that drive with an SSD (Samsung 840 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5-Inch SATA III Model #MZ-7TE1T0BW) I'm using an Intel based iMac (Mid-2011 model) 21.5 inch.
