Perfect Kit for upgrading a 2009 iMac to SSD
I used this to install an SSD into my late 2009 iMac. I couldn't decide whether to bother with this cable or not as it was almost as expensive as the drive and - some people were advising that it's not needed and could be managed with an app. By the time I'd added up the cost of the suckers, the screwdrivers and the rest of the bits in the kit which I would have needed to buy anyway, the cable itself didn't seem so expensive so I decided to go for it. I also didn't want to risk not getting it and having to install it later and open up the computer again. I did have a look around online and this seems to be the only cable available.Anyway, with the help of the OWC YouTube video I opened up the iMac and it was really easy to install. This kit contains everything you need except a 2.5inch to 3.5inch drive mount converter (I got the Sabrent one from Amazon which fitted perfectly), and the drive itself (I got the Crucial drive from Amazon). Instructions on the video were clear and easy to follow and the kit made it all really easy. My iMac is now running way better and faster than before. Highly recommended.

Replacement of Hard disk without totally removing the Display Screen
I used the OWC in-Line Digital Thermal Sensor HDD Upgrade Cable whilst upgrading to a SSD (Crucial 1TB) without any problems with the cable at all. I followed the OWC video until after I disconnected the first connector. I could see that there was enough space to replace the original hard disk without removing the screen totally. I had my Mid 2010 iMac on its back, top facing me on a soft cloth and I lifted the screen and used two thin plywood strips in about 150mm long and 15mm wide, which I had handy by chance, to support it. This placed no stress on any of the remaining cables still connected to the screen and gave enough space to complete the upgrade. There may be a good reason to totally remove the display screen but by using the plywood strips it reduced the chances of me damaging the other connectors. I think now with the strips ready the upgrade would take about 20 minutes to complete.
