iMac Hard Drive Upgrade 10 Steps

I tried to make it easier for folks to watch a video on how to upgrade the Hard Drive on the Aluminum iMac 24''. This of course will work with your 20'' iMac as well and may be good help for the newer 21.5 and 27 inch iMacs. This will not work however for white iMacs!

Question...how does it run with your 2tb? Any overheating? Also, do you recommend a 64mb cache, or will that get to hot for this specific model. I'm looking to install a 2tb on the same machine, but dont want to push power consumption too far.

@shiloharts I didn't have any more heating issues with a 2TB than with the base model. iMac's tend to be warm though, so take care of them. Granted I am using macs in a hot country, so that could be part of the reason they seem to always be warm. I didn't use 64mb cache though, I was still 32mb from memory. (Traveling right now, so can't check)

......oh hi!

[shiloharts]

@HKChigger thanks for response! My base HD has a bad sector, so have to repace the entire thing. Apple wants $185 for installing just 500gb. Figure, just do it myself. Thanks again, and thanks for the video. Happy New Year!
