[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1127071, member: 8287"] The iMac uses a full sized 3.5" SATA Hard Drive. I just installed a 1TB WD Black in an iMac 2 months ago. The hard drive will not be an issue. But the DVD drive is a special one and a laptop drive. I have been told there is a Pioneer that will fit in the iMac also but do not remember the model. Try google and search for Pioneer DVD RW for iMac. I am pretty sure that just any Slot Load drive will not work. Edit: This is the Pioneer I was talking about. According to this page it should work.

I bought my replacement from OWC. [/QUOTE]
