## Questions & Answers

**Q: I currently have late 2013 27” iMac with fusion drive.  What is it I have to remove from my existing machine since it’s a fusion drive?**
A: It depends on what you are doing. Just the existing hard drive.  In the fusion drive iMac(s), there is a SATA hard drive and a SSD blade drive (I forget the format).   Getting to the SATA drive requires a partial disassembly, getting the blade drive requires a full disassembly(the blade drive is on the back side of the motherboard).

I saw conflicting advice on whether both the blade drive and a replacement SATA SSD drive would work together, I think that they would, but since a larger sata SSD would cost a lot more than a hard drive, I went with replacing the 3tb hard drive with another 3tb hard drive.  

For my iMac with a fusion drive,I  used this kit (with the smallest available SSD) to replace a failed hard drive, I bought a new 3TB hard drive.  I did not use the provided SSD in my iMac.  The OWC kit contained everything needed for replacing the hard drive.   The process is not hard but you should watch the OWC video a few times, make sure that the old adhesive is removed completely, use the "pizza" cutter to separate the display panel from the case, and so forth.  

I bought the owc kit, a 3TB hard drive, and second set of the adhesive strips.

**Q: Another reviewer wrote somewhere that his imac didn’t recognize the new ssd in his kit for the 21” imac?  Has this been a problem?**
A: Hello! While there is always a chance of a drive being damaged during shipping and arriving DOA or an issue happening during installation, this is not something has been a problem. One thing you can do if you are worried about a drive not working upon installation, is to test it externally prior to installation using an external enclosure of some kind. For an SSD like this, most any 2.5" drive enclosure will do.

**Q: Does the service engineer come to our house to install this kit ? or do i have to send in my imac?**
A: This product is just the tools to install it yourself. The product is backed by an online do-it-yourself video. You can seen an example video here: https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/imac_21inch_late_2013_hdd/iMac14-4/. 

If you are not comfortable doing the installation yourself, this product is not for you.

**Q: why is this so high priced?**
A: Lots of parts and pieces along with special tools.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Upgrade Kit that makes installing a stimulating challenge.
*by A***N on July 15, 2021*

I have to admit from the outset that I am a technical fool. This is fully proved by me purchasing the OWC SSD Upgrade Bundle in the first instance!I own a 27” iMac late 2013 and noticed how the impressive speeds have slowed down over the years. I am seriously waiting for Apple to bring out a new larger screened all in one iMac. However, not knowing when and even if this will happen I thought I would attempt to upgrade the iMac both as a project but more so as a challenge to occupy me.I watched endless videos on various sites but especially on OWC’s own site. These were wonderfully informative and gave me the confidence to do the upgrade.Having purchased this via the US Amazon site, as it wasn’t available in the UK, the kit arrived in no time at all, which impressed me no end.What deterred me from attempting to do this immediately was that the description of the install process being described as ‘Difficult’.I opened the box and immediately got cold feet. I doubted myself and so returned to watching the install videos. The more I watched the more confident I felt that I should send the kit back!! But having come this far I knew there was no going back.So a week after the kit arrived. I did the first brave thing and inserted the adhesive cutter wheel into the computer. Again, in my mind, I replayed the videos. Breaking the seal was easier than I imagined and the screen separated from the main body of the iMac with considerable ease.I disconnected the 2 cables and stood and marvelled at the sheer beauty of the internal workings of the iMac. Before doing anything else I cleaned the inside of the iMac and all of the old residue adhesive.Before removing the hard drive I ensured the hard drive contents were transferred fully to the new SSD. This took about 5 hours using a reputable Carbon Copy Cloner site.I then set about removing the hard drive. Having every tool I needed to hand thanks to the kit was a huge help and increased my sense of confidence. The drive was easily removed and the I assembled the SSD into the new adaptor bracket and replaced the nodules/screws from the hard drive surround to the new adaptor frame. Inserted this into place connected it applying the heat sensor and reconnected the screen leads and tested it by powering it up.It was a magical moment when everything worked. I immediately noticed the speed improvements. I now set about adding the adhesive strips. These are straightforward to apply and again there are videos which cover these.I carefully followed the advice OWC give and left the Mac to bond. After 8 hours I reconnected the iMac and it was perfect. A job brilliantly done even if I say so myself.After a few hours of using the iMac I noticed the upper part of the screen had separated from the main body.Even though I purchased this kit from Amazon US, I notified OWC Customer Support of this issue and their response was first rate. They immediately dispatched replacement adhesive strips, which arrived two weeks later and again after thoroughly removing the residue of the old adhesive I then reapplied the strips.Some two weeks later everything continues to be impressively brilliant.The responsive and the Read/Write speeds are staggering. I suspect that I have given my iMac a new lease of life for a fraction of the cost than if I were to have had this SSD professionally installed.Even if I say it myself, I deserve a pat on the back for challenging my lack of technical know how and increasing my skills set whilst achieving an end result that I am truly proud of.I cannot recommend more highly the OWC SSD Upgrade Bundle. It comes with everything you need and the support both online from the install videos and when I needed human support was outstanding.Despite the adhesion issue, I am giving this 5 stars, as despite the sealant failing the first time, the support response was so brilliant that I feel OWC went above and beyond to ensure I was one very happy International customer.Indeed it’s a pity that OWC hasn’t a UK presence.I have shared my experiences with friends and have highly recommended OWC products as the ones to rely on.Thank you OWC.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost everything you need...
*by D***A on January 7, 2023*

You'll need to buy an adapter to plug the new drive into a USB slot on the back of iMac so you can clone the drive. I recommend watching several videos on how to upgrade it before ordering. The kit has quality contents. I had some difficulty in two areas, not the fault of this kit. When I cut the seal on the screen, it fell away so easily, it yanked a ribbon cable from the logic board, damaging the cable end. Fortunately, replacements are under $20 on Amazon. Use extra care and you'll be fine. Another issue was cloning the disk. It migrated all my data but not the OS. I had used CC Cloner software for this, perhaps if I had used the Mac utility, it would have been completed on the first try. My solution was to do an OS download/install right over the data. It took a couple of hours but everything works great now.Being a late 2015 iMac and now a legacy model, this was a relatively inexpensive upgrade for boot speed and operating speed. It boots fully in under 30 seconds vs 90 seconds. I also upgraded my RAM to 32GB. Simple and inexpensive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a fun project for a secondary computer
*by T***R on April 29, 2025*

5 stars with a caveat: only because I had a hard time locating the manufacturer’s instructional videos that I know existed. If you are planning to complete this upgrade be sure to have a helper around to assist you with re-attaching your iMac screen; I was unable to complete it 100% correctly with the new adhesive due to doing this on my own, one side is liable to fail overtime due to still having some of the blue tape on, it began curing very quickly. Now that the Mac is back together, though, this has made my computer very snappy and is much better than the factory HDD. I even was able to patch to the latest OS and have found everything working nicely. Be sure to allow plenty of time for your adhesive to cure with the Mac screen down on a soft surface to avoid issues. The included drive is excellent and I had exactly the right tools needed to complete the install.
