    Product Description

     
    • Required for any drive installed into the main drive bay.
    • Eliminate fan noise and maintain correct system fan control when upgrading your 2012 or later iMac.
    • The only iMac HDD upgrade option on the market certified to pass the Apple Hardware Test.
    • Fixes firmware incompatibility issues with third party hard drives.
    • Engineered in-house and backed by OWC's award-winning customer support.
    Improve Performance and Capacity. Upgrade Your iMac with Confidence.
    OWC's in-line solution is the only hardware digital thermal sensor on the market allowing a third-party SATA drive to be installed in your iMac. A convenient, plug-and-play cable, the In-line Digital Thermal Sensor eliminates fan noise and maintains proper system fan control through the iMac's System Management Controller. This innovative device is designed specifically for the iMac, requires no software hacks and ensures compatibility with Apple's built-in diagnostic processes. 

    Using an OWC Internal HDD DIY Kit (sold separately), replace your iMac's original hard drive with a high-capacity hard drive or a lighting fast SSD with a NewerTech Adaptadrive, for dramatic upgrades in storage capacity or data speed while maintaining the original system's fan and diagnostic performance.

      Tape _almost_ as original

      Posted by Unknown on 19th Jan 2020

      The kit works great. The only downside is that the tape makes it more difficult to reopen the computer (if that will be needed). The original tape used on the iMac is thicker and has a fluffy center, which makes the sliding into the tape with the "pizza-cut-tool" rather easy. Removing a screen taped with the OWC kit tape is rather more difficult than that. It seems, however, that all tape kits available are similar in this respect.

      PS
      Next time I'm opening an iMac I will plug the computer in and try to restart it when all the tape pieces are in place, but before I actually attach the screen to the sides and upper tape strips. Last time I accidently tugged on a cable (while fiddling around with removing the plastic on the tape pieces) and detached the cable from the motherboard and thus needed to reopen the computer (and order a new tape kit…)

      OWC COMPLETE HARD DRIVE UPGRADE KIT

      Posted by DJ on 17th Dec 2019

      Did the job as required. Screen adhesive tape handily marked up.
      *NB I found I didn't need the iHeavy Duty Suction Cups to carry out the task.
