da un po' di tempo penso di sostituire lo HD dell'iMac con uno SSD.
Ci sono due opzioni:
1. Togliere il Superdrive, installare lo SSD al posto del Superdrive con apposito kit, mantenere il vecchio HD + SSD
2. Togliere il vecchio HD ed installare lo SSD al suo posto, cortocircuitando il sensore di temperatura.
La seconda alternativa costa meno, e secondo me e' piu' elegante, sfrutta una connessione Sata piu' veloce, permette di mantenere il DVD.
Consigli ed esperienze proprie sono ben accette.
Sul sensore di temperatura ho trovato su ifixit questa testimonianza
I replaced my 500GB Hitachi drive with a 1TB Samsung 840 EVO SSD yesterday. I have only two significant remarks:
# To fit a 2.5" SSD in the 3.5" HD bay, you must use some kind of brace/adapter. Some SSDs can be bought in kits which include an adapter; mine didn't, so I bought a Deltaco brace.
# There's no connector for the apple temperature sensor on the SSD. You must either disable the apple fan control or buy an external sensor.
** You can disable the fan control by short-circuiting the sensor cable. This fools the apple fan control into believing the drive is forever cool. This is what I did.
** You can install some kind of software which overrides the apple controls. I did this, too, using Macs Fan Control.
** You can attach an external sensor on the SSD and connect the sensor cable to it. I would have liked to do this, but I couldn't find any reliable information on which sensor to buy.
