The late 2012 iMacs do not have an optical drive.
supports till 1TB (1000GB) laptop hard drives or SSD's The old hard drive in the iMac is a 3.5" desktop size which does not fi in the HDD Caddy.
Note: In this HDD Caddy you can fit a 2.5" laptop size hard drive or SSD. The inside of the caddy has a plastic holder to absorb noise and vibrations from a 2nd HDD. The caddy is build from aluminium which makes it light, sturdy and provides cooling for the harddrive. When used with a 2.5' to 3.5' drive adapter, sled, or tray it's also the right choice for older Mac Pro towers and iMac computers which used full-size 3.5 inch drives. The built-in lock screws make it easy to mount your second hard drive in the caddy. Mac Compatible SATA SSD's For upgrading many legacy Mac's and MacBooks, a very affordable off-the-shelf 2.5' laptop-size 6Gbps SATA III SSD is the right choice. The caddy supports SATAI, SATAII, and SATAIII transfer speeds. We will build a compatibly list for this model.Ĭheck under ABOUT THIS MAC > MORE INFO > SYSTEM REPORT > SERIAL ATA (or SATA) > select the right NVIDIA MCP79 AHCI and report the NEGOTIATED LINK SPEED.This HDD Caddy replaces the superdrive of the iMac! It will fit any 2.5" HDD or SSD. If you have an iMac 9,1 (20" and 24" early 2009) with the nVidia MCP79 chipset please report your SSD negotiated link speed. Or the new SM2258? - Intel 540S, Adata SU800 More SSDs with the SM2256 (anyone tried theses?): Mushkin -> ECO3 (1/3 of the time at 3G) SanDisk -> Ultra II (not booting sometimes : link) Pick one of theses if you can (hard to find in my area). The BX200 with the SM2256 controller is the newest of the list (still old compared to nowadays SSD). This issue is reported here : įor instance, someone reported SATA I speed on his iMac 9,1 (early 2009) and someone else reported SATA III on his 10,1 (late 2009) with the same Crucial BX300 which use the same Marvell 88SS1074 controller as the Kingston UV400.ĮDIT : After my research, looks like the Crucial M500(Marvell 88SS9187), BX200 (SM2256) are safe picks for the iMac 9,1. They are more likely to buy a new one then.Įdit: I am going to keep an eye out for Black Friday deals on iMacs.Ĭlick to expand.You are correct. How much do you think they could sell it for? It's like new with not a scratch on it. They mainly use the computer for business work, minimum amount of storage required is 512GB I would say. What's everyone's recommendations, especially on which RAM and SSD? Nevertheless, they would prefer to upgrade parts than forking out for a new machine, but if a new machine is not much more than upgrading the parts then they will consider it. I have kept recommending them to upgrade the machine like I did with my mid-2010 MBP, especially as theirs isn't supported for Sierra. They have owned the computer from new but for the past couple of years it has been painfully slow, I couldn't use it myself. Hi all, asking on behalf of someone else.
