Imac 27 hard drive replacement6/16/2023 ![]() Then I went back to the OS installation option and this time the drive (or rather the named partition) was listed. So I went back and selected the disk utility, selected the drive, gave it a name and erased it (which seems to be some non-intuitive way of creating a partition). I booted into recovery mode (Windows Key + R, because I didn't have one of those weird Apple keyboards) and opted to re-instal the OS, at which point it indicated that there were no drives present to install to. I then re-attached the screen (without the new adhesive strips, in case I needed to take the SSD out again) and secured it with some gaffer tape on each corner (which is just about visible in the last photo). Still wouldn't want to do another one though.įor the record, I fitted the SSD straight out of the box (without initialising, formatting, etc). I still think it's faff, just to change a drive, but it's not as bad as I thought. I suspect a lot of the comments were made by inexperienced end users. Some of the iFixit comments made it appear that removing and refitting the screen (without breaking it) was much more difficult than it was. ![]() What are the compatibility requirements for the 3.5' hard drives in the iMac 27' late 2015 Thank you. I understand that older iMacs had a thermal sensor which was compatible with only Seagate drives. It was actually a LOT easier than I expected. I want to replace the 3.5' drive that came in my iMac 27' late 2015 (17,1).
