While I have not done it with this model.... I would. The spec says 500 GB 7200 rpm SATA, 1 TB and 2 TB will work. This drive is capable of faster transfer, but should work without issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this drive should work if you're internal drive is a 3.5 inch drive. You just need to format it with disk utility before OS X will see it. That or use carbon copy cloner...

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes this product will work fine in your iMac i just replace one in my iMac and it worked fine. This drive has a connection for power management to control fan speed in your iMac if you forget to hook this connection up your fan will be louder and it will drive you nuts like it did to me.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it will work. You will need to format the drive under disk utilities though. After that load your os and you should be good to go.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not via a wifi connection. The drive can be connected via a USB cable, so if the bios of your system lets you boot from an external USB drive, then the answer is yes.
