Replacing HD on two iMac 27" EMC 2639
Hi,
I was reading for the past few days on your website and as much as I read, I really get confused, I might being asking a repeated questions here but I thought it is better to put it all here and get myself on the right track before touching my two iMacs…
I have two iMac 27” EMCD 2639 with i7, one machine has only a 3TB HDD (no fusion drive) which is working fine (only it is now a bit slow at boot especially, this machine is in use for large video files and large VMware Fusion virtual machines, as I said it is slow at boot but after that it is fine…), the other machine has a fusion drive but the 3TB HDD is faulty and almost dead…
My plan was to upgrade the faulty drive on the 2nd machine with a SSD using one of your upgrade bundle and move the SSD blade to the 1st machine to be used as a fusion or dual hard disk, so:
Q1) is this going to work? I mean moving the SSD blade?
Q2) in your upgrade bundle there is no 2TB option although you are offering a 2TB SSD in the parts section, does that mean it is only limited to max. of 1TB?
Q3) If I just replace the faulty 3TB hard disk with another HDD (I have access to many), do I need the thermal sensor with the HDD, is there a way to tell if there is a thermal sensor in the HDD…
finally, I understood that upgrading to SSD is even better than having a fusion drive, which one should I choose, it is not about the cost at all, it is about the practical, safer and reliable way to go…
I will wait for your reply before doing any thing, sorry if it looks long or repeated and thank you…
Esta é uma boa pergunta?
