The only thing I have noticed is that there is nowhere on the SSD to plug in the Thermal Sensor Connector. Do I just ignore it? Can I? This is the SSD that I ordered: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... I am currently booting off that SSD, which is connected via USB 2.0, and I believe that it's being bottlenecked by USB 2.0.

I just left the thermal sensor unplugged, and it works fine—but my computer thinks that the HDD is 128 degrees Celsius... which may or may not be a problem. http://grab.by/4fcM Was this answer helpful?

OWC Thermal Sensor Solves iMac HDD Compatibility
Hard Disk Recovery
Issue Monday, December 15th, 2014 | Author: Jarrod @ MacSales.com Beginning with the Late-2009 model, upgrading the hard drive in your iMac was no longer as simple as installing the https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/14068/SSD+compatibility+(Thermal+Sensor+Connector) new drive of your choosing.As we reported on the Rocket Yard, Apple changed the game when it came to hard drive upgrades. In Late 2009 and 2010 models, Apple introduced a different cable for each brand drive that forced users to install the same hard drive brand in order to upgrade.But with the evolution of modern hard drives, this is becoming harder http://blog.macsales.com/27918-owc-in-line-digital-thermal-sensor-solves-imac-hard-drive-compatibility-issue to accomplish. Fewer and fewer drives can actually still be swapped brand for brand. Since 2009, several of the major hard drive manufacturers have merged companies and technologies.So thermal pinouts on some drives had started changing and other drives no longer even had the thermal sensor pins to connect to in the first place. Our former recommendation of swapping out brand-for-brand is now outdated, but that doesn’t mean we’re leaving our customers high and dry.OWC announced today its In-Line Digital Thermal Sensor kits, which makes the brand-for-brand drive swapping a non-issue! With this OWC solution, all the compatibility issues are fixed and you’ll be free to upgrade your iMac with ANY brand 3.5″ SATA hard drive. So not only have we expanded your drive options for updating your iMac, we’ve done so with no software hacks necessary and complete AHT diagnostic compatibility.That’s not to say that brand-for-brand drive swapping didn’t work. For those who’ve already done a brand-for-brand swap and aren’t experiencing any issues, your iMacs are good to go and safe to operate. But for anyone who is experiencing fan speed issues or for any

Hard Drive Temperature - Does It Matter? May 12th, 2014 How much does operating https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3860372?tstart=0 temperature affect the failure rates of disk drives? Not much. The unlimited online backup service provided by Backblaze requires a lot of storage. In fact, we recently passed the 100-petabyte mark in hard disk our data center. This means we use disk drives. A lot of disk drives. The Backblaze Storage Pod is designed to provide good airflow over the disk drives, so they don’t get too hot. Still, different locations inside a pod, and different locations within a data center will have different temperatures, and we wondered whether that was a problem for the drives. What Other People Say hard disk failure Google and Microsoft have both done studies on disk drive temperature in their data centers. Google found that temperature was not a good predictor of failure, while Microsoft and the University of Virginia found that there was a significant correlation. Disk drive manufacturers tell Backblaze that in general, it’s a good idea to keep disks cooler so they will last longer. All Drives: No Correlation After looking at data on over 34,000 drives, I found that overall there is no correlation between temperature and failure rate. To check correlations, I used the point-biserial correlation coefficient on drive average temperatures and whether drives failed or not. The result ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 being no correlation, and 1 meaning hot drives always fail. Correlation of Temperature and Failure: 0.0 Disk Drive Temperature Range It turns out that different drive models run at different temperatures, and this can throw off the stats when looking at the entire population. If in a given ambient air temperature, drive model A runs warmer than drive B, and drive A fails more, that will make it look like there is a correlation when there isn’t.

Aristotle_123 Level 1 (1 points) Q: Temperature Sensor on replacement HDD (1TB Seagate Barracuda) My iMAC 21.5" (Intel late 2009) started giving me the flashing "?" folder - long story short after tryijng every trick described on these forums I concluded that the HDD had died. Bought a 1TB SATA Seagate Barracuda from Best Buy and replaced it. The the only issue during the hardware install was that the temperature-sensor connector on the original Apple HDD (Hitachi 500gb in my case) had a specialized slot (two pin slot) with a gray and black wire. This slot was not present in the Seagate I bought and instead there is a four pin jumper slot right next to the SATA cables, which according to the Seagate manual are jumpers for messing with the HDD transfer rate (1.5gb/s vs. 3.0 gb/s). I was following the ifixit.com instructions for replacing my HDD and according to those instructions connecting the temp sensor wires in the replacement SATA drive's jumper pins closest to the SATA connector would be the correct way of installing this cable (step#10 http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac-Intel-21-5-Inch-EMC-2308-Hard-Drive-Replacement /1766/4). Can anyone pls tell me if I connected the temp sensor correctly by following the ifixit instructions? iMAC, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPhone 3GS Posted on Apr 7, 2012 3:52 PM I have this question too Close Q: Temperature Sensor on replacement HDD (1TB Seagate Barracuda) All replies Helpful answers by Frank Caggiano,★Helpful Frank Caggiano Apr 7, 2012 6:32 PM in response to Aristotle_123 Level 7 (25,796 points) Apr 7, 2012 6:32 PM in response to Aristotle_123 Prior to 2009 any drive that fix could be used in an iMac the temperature sensor was affixed to the outside of the drive.
