27" iMac SSD Install in 3 Minutes!

[B4RR3TT50Cal]

i dont wanna see it done in 3 minutes i want to know how to fucking do it

[jman781]

Holy shit, now that takes balls!

[monetized]

This Kid Doesn't Know What He's Doing. He Didn't Need To Do All That You Can Easily Just Nudge The Hard Drive Out!

[XONation]

Impressive, I recently bought a iMac, 27inch, i7 Quad 3.4GHz, 4GB Ram and AMD Radeon 6970 series 1024mb , I want to upgrade ram but really want a SSD, it sucks that Apple will not touch it, but need somebody to do this for me, know a few places, wouldn't wanna touch something I spent like 2G on and then end up breaking or damaging it, bloody Apple :(

[rcarrillo7]

Is this the model with the Thunderbolt ports in the back? I bought mine in September 2011, but I'm not sure if this is the exact same one. I'm a DIY guy, and I would totally take this on.

[BlubBlob]

In a PC it's done in 3 real time minutes :)

[rtownz251251]

@BlubBlob I daubt that goes for all-in-one's as well :P. the other macs don't take that long either...

[ToyRail]

What are you connecting the SSD to? And which model of iMac is this?

[rtownz251251]

@ToyRail I have the same question :P

[mobabur94]

...PCs

[beinstine]

What model/year iMac? and did you replace the regular HDD with a adapter for SDD?

[Kwakobo]

2:33 We finally know what jeff semi looks like!

[briantobey]

Nice job on this video. It give you the whole perspective of the process.

I'm embedding it on my article:btobey.com/learn/imac-­ssd-install.php

Thanks for checking it out.

What kind of camera did you use? Nice white balance.. Interval Timing?

[myjailbreakmovies]

@briantobey Brian, really appreciate your stopping by. Your guide was instrumental in me even deciding to do this, let alone actually do it. Amazing detail on that guide, and I thank you a lot for giving me the confidence to pull it off. I linked the guide on this channel and on our post on iDownloadBlog, so hopefully you get some decent traffic from it. Thanks again. As far as camera, it's a 60D; everything is stock, no lighting adjustments, I just have a few good work lamps.

[briantobey]

@myjailbreakmovies Nice work.. The 60D is a great camera..

[djantish]

what's the soundtrack?

[myjailbreakmovies]

@djantish It's a track that comes with Garageband I believe. Can't remember the name off the top of my head.

[ceccia97]

@djantish I FOUND IT 4 U it's included in iMovie it's called Half Dome Long

[djantish]

@ceccia97 thank you! :)

[babyboylariviere]

[RazerFnatic]

how many screws are they there?

[myjailbreakmovies]

@RazerFnatic It's not as many as it seems, but it's quite a few.

[RazerFnatic]

@myjailbreakmovies if give a number what would it be?

[AlonMln]

OMG! we can finally see your face :P

[watarhassas]

Finally, here is your face ;)

[peppyhax]

i took apart my canon EFS17-85mm lens a few weekends ago to perform a cable repair inside. was also a similarly daunting procedure! but nice when you see the end result :).

[myjailbreakmovies]

@peppyhax Wow, sounds quite challenging...

[Science2224]

Almost had a techgasm

[Dougzhaas]

MORE SCREWS!!! and connectors...

[muko2002]

[scorcher004]

[TheBeardOfSpock]

@410Mando witchcraft

[XxBoogerlandxX]

[m8766654321]

i wanna watch the 3 hours

[dviper]

I recently replaced the internal drive of my 24" iMac. The newer 27" model looks much more complicated.

[matthew3000]

this is jeff with ibrickedmymac

[The99oscar]

3:01 Minecraft!! :D

[pepevarilla]

You are the Best Jeff

[InfoZenn]

The first time is always the longest, Jeff. I can replace a drive in my iMac in about 30 minutes now.

[CallMeChrisss]

Man that's fast.. Haha man I love your vids.(:

[TheRealNoman]

All that unscrewing looked really scary.

[The40nontyy3]

LOL

[tom97777]

I like your voice, great video!

[CiastekPL1]

Good job bro :)

[AlexD907]

How did I know that you'd say "that's fast" at the end? I'm good. :)

[FourXeroTwo]

Bet this was a lot of fun :)

[PasswordHackerz]

you have 16 GB Ram from Crucial too o:

just like me!!! :D

[brentmoon15]

Let's c your face

[lewisthereviewer]

Hey Jeff Love Your Videos Can U Do A Room Tour :)

[WolftownProductions]

see this is why i love pc

[mcduffchannel]

wow so daunting, seems worth it though! that thing effin wizzed the boot sequence!!! the mac boot is pretty quick to begin with. On a side note the heat management is amazing considering

[TheChickenWingsIX]

Don't You Just Love It When Things Goes Your Way!

[TheChickenWingsIX]

Imagine if it didn't work you would have had to take everything out again to get the hard drive out. I would be real sad :( But it worked so NICE!!

[iceleon25]

it will only take a few minutes in windows. though I really really like the mac :)

[HeichLiDevice]

can't imagine that how long did apple design iMac

[gtnicca08]

I'd b screwed if i ever had to do this lol

[gaba922]

Speedgasm at the end

[dlcmh]

Two thumbs up!

[BlackMamba246]

Get a PC. Much better.

[Tr1pTr0p]

Honestly, I considered buying an iMac, but I don't think I'm ever going to. :/

Seriously, if I ever want to upgrade my HDD, I'll either have to buy an entirely new machine, or do this. That's bullshit. An iMac? Never.

[FourXeroTwo]

@Tr1pTr0p or you could just go to the Apple Store, but nah you're way to lazy, you know it.

[Tr1pTr0p]

@FourXeroTwo ...lazy if i don't want to spend hundreds of $ on a plane ticket to fly hundreds of kilometers to the nearest apple store? makes sense.

the nearest apple reseller is 200 kilometers from my place.

[acordxtc]

Lol how is this shocking people. It's Mac, the word easy and Mac never are used together lol. Glad it only took me 5 mins real time to install my two OCZ Vertex 3's in raid lol

[juancarlos4864]

The best video I ever watch

[MrBuffalow77]

please do macbook pro!

[Rjaggarwal]

@cpdkw My next computer is a personal computer. Astute observation sir.

[h4gadgets]

One thing i got to know is Jeff also wears glasses!

[chadallen92685]

Scary!!!!!!

[Zuxicovp1]

@wemakepies he is white. Lol. Do you not see his hand, his face in the video? Lol

[TheseOpenRoads]

It is so insane you have to take off the LCD to upgrade your hard drive. There needs to be an easier way to do this

[v000000000000v]

I see minecraft in your dock!

[NeverStopLearningMan]

I hope I don't have to do this but it's nice to know that it can be done.

Thanks

[Sk3elly]

Don't see why people are arguing about PC's, the iMac is an AIO so obviously its going to be more strenuous to add an SSD. I'm sure it wouldn't be this difficult on an Mac Pro for example. :-)

[PoKerFaceN1]

haha awesome 

[Chemicalzify]

What song is that?

[FunkyChicken000]

what do you film with?

[talaveramike101]

Lol At Last 5 Seconds Like If You Did Too

[ICYASIAN95]

Hope you got a big sdd gb

[cpdkw]

screw that, my next computer is a PC

[WTFitsDE]

in pc: unplug SATA cable, take out harddrive, put in ssd, plug SATA back in.

[myjailbreakmovies]

@WTFitsDE Let's refrain from turning this into a Mac vs PC debate... PLEASE!

[darth2499]

@myjailbreakmovies does apple provide an assistance at the apple store to do this?

[myjailbreakmovies]

@WTFitsDE For the record I love both mac and pc :)

[FrosenIce]

@myjailbreakmovies How long did the dissamply take?

Kogeto Dot Giveaway! :P

[myjailbreakmovies]

@wemakepies Haha.

[cisnerosp100]

cool

[iPodTouchPro94]

[funnyent]

My old iMac G5 was so easy to open. 3 screws and the back just popped off. I wish my new one was like that. Nice video.
