You can use software like Mac Fan Control or a dedicated sensor cable to bring fans 'under control'. If you mount a non-Apple drive (or the SSD), the fans will likely blow at full speed.

Apple has special firmware on its hard drives with allows the 2009 - 2011 iMac to correctly read the temperature.

Those are cheap and often come with the SSD.

You will need a 2.5' to 3.5' adapter bracket to mount the smaller 2.5' SSD in place.

Thank you i did already investigations and research as well. I just want to know if its possible to install it and make the internal drive or STORAGE faster to whatever the machine can with-hold. Will anyone know the limits of internal SSD, will it even be able to read? The main reason why i am trying to upgrade is because i will be moving to japan and i want to take a machine for working at home since i do not know the how long i will live there for. Is it possible to install a new internal HDD as an SSD drive? Is it possible to upgrade it?Īlso is the SSD compatible with external outputs for faster Time Machine Back ups? I already installed the latest MAC OSX system, which is macOS High Sierra, and made a time machine backup. I am trying to upgrade its internal HDD to an SSD, is this possible?
