OWC Complete Hard Drive Upgrade Kit Including Tools for all 27" iMacs 2012 & Later

Already have all the tools necessary to perform this upgrade?
You can purchase the sensor cable set separately
Kit with installation tools and OWC In-line Digital Thermal Sensor for all Apple iMac 2012 and later models allows the use of any 3.5" Serial ATA hard drive to be used in your iMac while maintaining proper system fan speed control via Apple's built-in SMC with no software hacks. Fully compatible with Apple diagnostic testing. 27" iMac models utilize 3.5" Hard Drives. 
 
  • Required for any drive installed into the main drive bay.
  • Eliminate fan noise and maintain correct system fan control when upgrading your 2012 or later iMac.
  • The only iMac HDD upgrade option on the market certified to pass the Apple Hardware Test.
  • Fixes firmware incompatibility issues with third party hard drives.
  • Engineered in-house and backed by OWC's award-winning customer support.
 
 
Are you close to maxing out your factory-original hard drive? With the OWC Internal HDD DIY Kit, you can replace the original hard drive in your 27" iMac with a hard drive up to 4.0TB (sold separately) for up to 8x more storage capacity!

Unlike some other drive upgrade options for 2011 iMac models, this OWC DIY kit is certified to successfully pass the Apple Hardware Test. This means the newly installed hard drive will work with Apple's built-in diagnostic process, preserving proper system fan speed control. 

Note: Before attempting to perform this installation, please watch the OWC Install Video in its entirety to determine your ability to perform this complex upgrade. OWC assumes no responsibility for damage that may occur during the install. Technical support for this DIY product consists only of the OWC Install Video.
