It works on my iMac mid-2011. You need the right mounting kit or connector or both. If you want to keep everything and just add the SSD without removing any existing hard drive or CD-ROM drive, there is a special SATA cable that you can buy that connects to the free SATA port on the motherboard. This is what I used instead of replacing the CD-ROM drive or the main drive. This keeps the iMac with all original components, so no problem with CD-ROM fan going full blast since the temperature sensor remains with the CD-ROM drive. Just make sure you are very competent and patient with loosening various electronic components of iMac including the motherboard, since one small static electricity while touching the electronics can destroy the iMac, and it is hard to maneuver the loosened motherboard back to its place while trying to avoid pinching cables or cracking plastic tabs or even the motherboard.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it will work are you planning on diy ? And Ian assuming you are installing it internally just remember to pick up double adhesive tape for your Ssd and a sata cable
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yup, but too and having the fans run at full speed, you'll need an adapter cable from OWC. You may also want their physical mount.
