[QUOTE="peekapoo, post: 1759792, member: 392628"] [b]iMac 5k SSD upgrade DIY[/b] Yeah, I did it anyway. After all replies, I wansn't gonna do it by myself. Called several authorized service centers near me, but they said they won't do it because Apple doesn't allow them to do that. So, I watched few videos and did it. It wasn't that hard. Actually, it was pretty easy. By no means I am a technically savvy person, but still, it was not that hard. Was I scared? **** yes, but it was still easy. I bought a new sticker set from ifixit for $20 and just followed their instruction. It took me about 40 minutes to install my used sandisk SSD and took another 30-40 minutes to install OSX and now my iMac is super fast. A lot of people worry about the display, but after I did it, I think it would be hard to break it unless you drop it. After read bunch of youtube replies, I did not even install a heat sensor and I don't have a fan issue too. So, if you want to try it, do it if you can overcome scary factor. My advise? be patient.
