Good instructions all parts included

This was a fairly easy install despite some small connectors that were not easy to remove with clumsy big fingers. All tools were included and good detailed instructions online. After installation, the iMac started up and the backup was restored. This larger drive is quieter and faster than the old failed drive. I will have no hesitation in buying from OWC again for a future home improvement.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Damaged

easy computer and accessories

Following instructions on youtube was no problem. I'm new to computer repair, but it seemed intimidating when it was actually easy. Just follow the instructions. I even downloaded and installed the program, resulting in a brand new, updated desktop Mac.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Long time

died 7 months later.

Includes all the tools you need and a link to an easy step-by-step video. I installed a new hard drive which is a bit slower than the video but I managed to do it successfully and am restoring my timemachine backup. Thank you OWC! updates. 7 months and my drive died. I'm trying to find out if this is covered under warranty.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Nothing

Replaced at noon!

Beautiful set! I have a 2009 iMac that needs a new HD. The thought of doing it myself was daunting, but I didn't plan on shelling out hundreds to fix a nearly 10-year-old computer. But it literally took 30-40 minutes to replace, from start to finish. Tip: To turn off the screen and detach the LCD, have a friend hold the iMac steady so it doesn't tip over. And have a can of compressed air handy; mine was covered in dust. I would highly recommend this HD kit even for the least tech savvy like me!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • A few little things

Late 2009 iMac good for storage

I installed it on my Late 2009 iMac last month and it was easy and still no problems. If you're comfortable doing it yourself, you can't go wrong for the price.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Not all good

OWC is great - highly recommend

I found OWC's tutorial videos online before deciding to choose their product for my needs. The combination of video and all-inclusive package (including tools, microfiber cloth, etc.) was perfect. They also preformatted the hard drive before shipping, so all I had to do was restore it from my Time Machine backup. The installation took about 45 minutes from start to finish. The end result is a great overall experience and for about $100 I got no life from a 10 year old machine that I paid $3000…

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Great price

Back on duty!

My 2010 Mac has started to get agitated recently. First I dealt with black screens on startup. After scouring the internet I was able to fix this, although for about a year more or less. Then I had problems with the screen freezing on startup. The Apple logo appears and the loading bar stops about 2/3 of the way. After searching the web again and trying multiple times to fix the problem, I found that my hard drive had been removed. But fear not, OWC will come to the rescue. They sell a…

Pros
  • Form Factor 3.5" Hard Drive
Cons
  • Some Issues

Great kit - no installation hassles

I had already replaced the hard drive in my 2009 iMac so I pretty much knew what to expect. Thanks to this disk and the installation kit, everything went very quickly and smoothly this time. Everything you need to install your new hard drive is included, and the video instructions are clear and easy to follow. The temperature sensor wiring is spot on and fits perfectly. All necessary tools, including two sizes of Torx screwdrivers, are included. It took me less than an hour to insert a new…

Pros
  • OWC 2 year limited warranty
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
