[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1552641, member: 46727"] Yes, your iMac needs a replacement hard drive that is the same as the one you're replacing, otherwise your hard drive fan will go full blast. There are work arounds and other various methods to overcome this. Suggest going to Other World Computing and look up the procedure and their recommended fixes and work arounds before you start. I just a hard drive replaced on my 2011 iMac 21.5" by Apple. However, my machine was covered by Apple Care. [/QUOTE]
