Introdução

Siga este guia para fazer upgrade no seu disco rígido iMac com um SSD usando um invólucro metálico de 2,5” a 3,5”. O guia inclui passos para instalar o sensor de temperatura, de forma que as ventoinhas do Mac operem na velocidade certa.

Este é um guia tipo pré-requisito exclusivo e não deve ser usado isoladamente. Este guia é um dos guias de reposição do HD do iMac.

    • Siga os passos restantes se estiver substituindo o seu disco rígido por um kit SSD.

    • Se o seu invólucro de SSD for como o da primeira imagem, vá em vez disso para este guia.

    • Alinhe os conectores do SSD com os soquetes do invólucro metálico.

    • Pressione a unidade contra os soquetes do invólucro, até que o SSD se assente firmemente.

    • O SSD se conecta com o invólucro somente numa única direção. Se não conseguir alinhar os conectores, vire o SSD e tente novamente.

    what if I’m installing a hard drive?

    Troy Garcia -

    Didn’t bother with the SSD caddy. Some 3M sticky pads did the trick!

    James Clive -

    Been using them for years...works great.

    Two thoughts on SSD replacement/upgrade:

    1) It would help if some references were made to help us determine what we need in terms form factors. I’ve never used an SSD and see a 2.5” one that would work, but I don’t know if 2.5” SSDs are different (in form factor) from 2.5” HDs. A lot of us are still learning about SSDs and isn’t that what this site is about? (Learning new things about hardware and using hardware?)

    2) I’m not clear if I definitely need a new temperature sensor if I put in an SSD or if

    Hal Vaughan -

    You do not need the temperature sensor, just replace the old HD for a new SATA HD or better Sata SSD. This sensor was only needed in former models, I think the iMac 2011. I replaced already some drives of the 27" iMac 2017 and never needed the extra sensor. E.g. Apple used a normal not branded 1 TB Seagate SATA Desktop HD ST1000DM003.

    Frank N -

    Can I buy the kit without the SSD. I'm thinking of replacing my 3TB hard drive with a 4TB SSD.

    Also, would you happen to know what the maximum hard drive dimension that can fit inside of this iMac? I may try a 14TB hard drive instead.

    Larry -

    A 14Tb HDD does not represent any problem. But I will care about rising temperature. Must attach a heat sensor. If rise to high, it will suddenly shutdown to protect it.

    Neos Marketing -

    Is it possible to have some reference of compatible SSD please?
    I would like to replace the HDD from my Fusion drive, Imac 5K late 2014, by a SSD.
    But i don't know which model should i take, and there is no recommandation on this website :(

    thanks in advance

    Nathan André -

    Is it possible to use an M.2 NVMe SSD with an adapter (mount) for a 2.5" SATA SSD instead of a SATA SSD?

    Kirill Legion -

    Great tuning set and tutorial.
    With the new SSD my late 2012 iMac feels like 10 years younger now! :-)

    The only things to mention:

    - before starting read the whole tutorial very carefully!

    - prepare your working place

    - take enough time for each step!!

    Chris Wagner -

    Has anyone used a Samsung 870 EVO SATA 2.5”?

    Mark -

    yes, i replaced the fusion drive with the samsung 870 evo. works great!

    • Com uma chave Phillips, instale os quatro parafusos prateados (dois de cada lado) ao longo das bordas do SSD para fixá-lo no invólucro.

    • Conecte o cabo combinado habilitado a sensores à porta do invólucro.

    • O cabo somente pode ser conectado em uma única orientação. Se não conseguir conectar o cabo, gire-o 180º e tente novamente.

    Is the thermal sensor needed? I fitted a replacement SSD and it’s all back together and the iMac’s fans are fine. They don’t go into full max speed mode.

    James Clive -

    If you have a problem with the fans, you can always use Macs Fan Control (free) to set the speed. The sensor is not needed.

    maccentric -

    Hi, thanks for good information. Do we need intermediate SSD cables (red, black and yellow)? iMac has SATA original cable.

    O S -

    I used always the "old" SATA original cable. You do not need the temperature sensor, just replace the old HD for a new SATA HD or better SATA SSD. This sensor was only needed in former models, I think the iMac 2011. I replaced already some drives of the 27" iMac 2017 and never needed the extra sensor. E.g. Apple used a normal not Apple branded 1 TB Seagate SATA Desktop HD ST1000DM003.

    It is always a good idea to fix the TFT Screen with tape and test the HD replacement.

    • Remova a película branca da traseira da pequena placa de sensor de temperatura para expor o adesivo.

    • Cole a placa do sensor de temperatura numa superfície metálica exposta do SSD, próximo ao conector SATA.

    • Dobre o excesso dos fios do sensor de temperatura, de forma que eles não atrapalhem enquanto você instala o invólucro.

    Great pics ! Is that “temp sensor board” is already on my HDD IMAC ?? Or must I buy one ?

    kenclark200 -

    Don’t bother with the thermal sensor. I didn’t fit one and the iMac is working fine and no fans are kicking in.

    James Clive -

    Instructions say to attach sensor to the SSD, but all pictures show it being attached to the SSD carrier. This may not represent accurate SSD temp as much of the carrier dissipates the heat absorbed from the SSD

    chris byrne -

    Confirmed, no need for the extra temp sensor on Mid-2015 iMac. (EMC 2806, Mid-2015 27" iMac). Just changed the old 1TB HDD to SSD, no extra fan RPM after power on.

    Laszlo Nyirfa -

    The adhesive on the sensor is very weak. My sensor fell off after a couple of days. Is there a safe glue to use to adhere it to the SSD? Super glue?

    estyle18 -

    FWIW I bought a 4TB Western Digital Blue SSD. The entire case of the SSD is plastic- there is no metal. Hoping the temp sensor adheres to it okay.

    Kupe -

    de donde salio el sensor de temperatura? lo trae el disco nuevo?

    • Fixe os suportes de montagem removidos do disco rígido velho no invólucro.

    i don't have a combo cable.i also didn't have asata drive. just a blade ssd. i don't see wwhere i could add a cable

    • As imagens usadas neste passo são de um iMac de 2017. Os seus cabos podem ser diferentes, mas o procedimento é o mesmo.

    • Empurre o invólucro do SSD no espaço ocupado anteriormente pelo disco rígido.

    • Disponha os cabos de tal forma que eles não interfiram nenhum outro componente.

    • Tente manter os cabos afastados de dobras acentuadas e passe-os de tal forma que eles não sejam apertados.

    The SATA cable on my Late 2012 was not long enough to comfortably attach to the end of the temperature sensor array after it was plugged into the new SSD. I had to fold the array and slide it under the SSD and housing. There was much resistance to the folding so I took it slowly to let the wires adjust gradually to the fold so they would not break.

    Bob Enders -

    Unfortunately, the adapter that comes with it isn't long enough to avoid pushing against the screen in the front. One week after upgrading to SSD my screen fell off shattering and breaking the power connector on the systems board. A new screen is ordered but I'm hoping the power connector isn't damaged beyond repair. I'm going to try to adhere the HD adapter to the back inside of the case with 3m adhesive to avoid pressure against the screen.

    Erik Johnson -

    As a newbie, the only other upgrade I have done is to replace my iPhone 7 battery. I had trouble on reassembly.

    This is a great upgrade guide, but it would be important to me to see the reassembly instructions including the cautions.

    For example, I had issues with reattaching the plugs in the phone. I could see having an issue with them here, as well as repositioning the display back into the cabinet.

    I do PCB board repair work and repair pinball machines. But I won’t try this.

    LexVAPin -

    how do i glue on the new screen? which glue is used?

    Marc Seeh -

    Try 3m double sided tape from Amazon, it available in 3mm width which is ideal for iMac screen. It has a very thin foam and is much better quality than the cheap Chinese kits available on Amazon. You will have to trim it to size with a sharp craft blade as you fit. Don’t risk your screen falling off from using cheap tape in the so called fitting kits!

    Tony Street -

    In my Late 2012 27" iMac I Scotch-taped the SATA connector to the case to stop it from pushing against the screen after reassembly.

    [deleted] -

    Only 39 steps!

    Is it possible to clone the internal disk and have the imac boot off the external SSD?

    D Leinweber -

    The extension cable is too long. I folded it over carefully & stuck it down to the case using a double sided sticky pad. Photo here

    hi is it possible to use another caddy caddy 3,5" ---> 2,5" for the upgrade? I think the logic board of the one that comes in the kit is faulty.

    Thanks

    Radament -

    There is no need for a temperature sensor on a Late-2013 and later.

    Phil Taylor -

    I got more length of the SATA cable to work with by removing the fan and routing the cable differently under there (right through the middle instead of around the edges). However, then the adapter cable turned out to be too long, the whole thing would have gotten in the way of the display. Since I read that the Mid 2017 iMac doesn't really need the sensor, I'll be trying it without. Otherwise, my solution would have been to bend the adapter under the cage and tape it in place.

    Could one just leave the fusion hdd in there, disconnect the cable, and plug into a sata sdd and have it sit in the space above the disconnected fusion hdd?

    Gold Coast Spanner Crab -

    With the Fusion Drive 3T and 128 SSD in my 2017 27” iMac … can they be removed separately ? The HD is not mountable. Don’t know if the SSD can be salvaged.
