Review: Great kit, but be careful! - This kit (and the online videos) made the SSD replacement in my 2011 iMac very easy. Everything was presented clearly, and it took very little time replacing my hard drive. But be careful! Unfortunately I ruined my iMac after the replacement was finished, and I was in the process of closing the computer back up. When it came time to reattach the monitor's data cable, I guess I didn't have it lined-up properly and was using too much force and broke the connector/end of the cable. Luckily desertcart sells replacement cables for only $12. But when that arrived, the same thing happened. Ordered another cable, which seemed to go in fine, but the screen was still blank. I think I must have damaged the actual plug (on the motherboard) during that first attempt. Turns out I'm not alone. A lot of people have trouble with that particular plug. The other plugs are easier to manage. But all of that isn't the fault of this kit. It's just awkward with that cable because it's kinda dark, hard to see, and you are balancing the screen with one hand while trying to plug the cable back in. Just be real careful when it comes to that cable. Maybe watch a few YouTube videos about it before attempting? HINT: If the OWC website is down (like it was when I was doing the upgrade), you can find their installation videos on YouTube.
Review: Very easy to install and quality product at a great price - This has uplifted my 2011 iMac to almost like-new performance. This included all the parts and tools I needed. I separately bought a $10 ssd enclosure to do the initial copy although you may copy several ways. The instructional video is very detailed and having never opened my iMac, I felt very comfortable performing the upgrade. I highly recommend this kit and while you may save a few dollars buying the parts separately, I found this to be a great value for price and quality. I have used OWC products before and they continue to deliver.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with the adhesive to put the screen back?**
A: Hello.  The 2011 iMac does not require adhesive for the screen.  The screen is held on by magnets in those models.

**Q: Would this work for a 2010 iMac as well?**
A: Hello!  The 2010 iMac does need a different Thermal Sensor cable than what comes with this kit.  We do have a kit for the 2010 iMac here: https://goo.gl/duRkcu

**Q: Do you have the upgrade kit for the late 2013 27" iMac?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 2011 iMac runs as fast as my 2017 MacBook Pro
*by D***M on April 7, 2021*

If you're on the fence about buying this SSD, let this review be the sign for you to get it. There wasn't anything wrong with the original hard drive in my iMac, its spinning was just loud enough to wake me up at night when the computer would randomly do its thing. My computer also took almost 2 minutes to boot and would still be sluggish and laggy after booting, especially with programs like Microsoft Word or Adobe Lightroom. I figured it was time to throw in an SSD and fix all those problems. I wish I had done this years ago, now my computer boots in about 15 seconds and has 0 lag when opening apps or getting started. The process is relatively simple, just watch the YouTube videos on how to replace your old drive. Here are a few helpful tips I wish I had known before installing this: 1. Make sure you have a USB to SATA transfer cable so you can clone your old hard drive to your new one; you won't be able to use the drive until it's formatted to your Mac. I luckily saw that it would be needed, but it wasn't something that a non-computer savvy person like me would have immediately thought of. The kit contains everything you need to replace your drive except this cable. 2. AFTER cloning or formatting your new SSD (keep it attached with the USB/SATA cable) but BEFORE taking out your old hard drive, go to Startup Disk in System Preferences and make sure you select the new SSD as the preferred disk to boot off of. I discovered that not doing this will cause a white screen with a flashing folder with a "?" indicating that your Mac is trying to find the old hard drive to boot off of (which if you take out and replace with the SSD without switching the preference, it won't find). I ended up taking my computer apart again, putting the old drive back in, booting it up, switching the boot disk preference to the new SSD, then took the old drive out and put the SSD back in again. Save a lot of frustration by doing this the first time. 3. It'll take a fat amount of time to clone your drive. My system had about 230GB of data to clone and ended up taking about 6 hours. Plan ahead so you don't disrupt your work schedule. So far I absolutely love the new SSD. My Mac has been kicking strong for 10 years, I bet with this I can get at least 5 or more years out of it.
