So does anyone know if I can put a 1tb drive in it, and if so what brand or model Would this be ok: 1TB Hitachi HUA721010KLA330 Ultrastar SATA 3GB/s 3. Im doing a bit of HD video editting and this hard drive is way too small. When reassembled, clean LCD and inside of glass, dust gets everywhere, easy. I have a mid-2007 iMac with the stock 250gb hard drive.

A fresh reset of the original iMac system software will be installed, just like when you first bought the computer. As a result, all personal data will be completely removed from the iMac computer. Fit new ds tape to sensor fittings when dropping new drive into place. Resetting iMac computer back to factory settings involves erasing the hard drive, and reinstalling the operating system on the computer. Also buy a 3.5 inch sata dock so you can get all your data off of the old hard drive. Remove hard drive fitting, fit to new HD. Any 3.5inch SATA hard drive will work, it doesn’t matter what brand it is. Push off 2 connectors from HD, squeeze in black plastic at top of drive, and remove HD. Pull off black cover over temp sensor, pull off sensor and plastic clamp.

Slide the front back, remove connector at the top.Then 4 torx screws on each side of the LCD, 2 torx scres on video connector attached to LVDS cable, sensor lead and 4 connectors underneath from the inverter. The glass is removed by 2 suction cups, then 10 torx screws become visible, remove.

Nearly forgot, some find replacing hard drives in your model of iMac easy, others not. I'd look around for a non OEM drive, but not a retail boxed unit, for the longer warranty.

Far better, if you still want to buy from Aria this a faster drive only a few pounds more 1TB Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive - Aria Technologyīear in mind, all these drives are OEM, so you only get 1 years warranty. The drive you spec'd is a 'pull', but from a built PC or was it used for a short time? Plus it now shows out of stock.
