There's 3 years worth of complaints about the [url=https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2244915]noise coming from this drive on the Apple forum[/url].

The OWC site said fully compatible with my specific iMac (mid-2010 11,3) - it's certainly running perfectly well now! Been up and running maybe 8 hours or so. Me too!! Will let you know...still building myself up to do it. [/QUOTE]
