Brilliant Upgrade Kit that makes installing a stimulating challenge.
Capacity: 1.0TB
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. ... show more

Great product

I reluctantly bought this as a last resort to bring my old IMac back to like. I really didn’t think it would work or even hold the display in place considering the reviews. They give you all the tools needed to remove and re-install the screen and the hard drive worked beautifully. So far, the screen has stayed in place. ... show more

Warranty service is horrible
Capacity: 2.0TB
I purchased this OWC SSD upgrade kit for my 2019 27" iMac and had it installed (this is no easy task because the display has to be unglued from the rest of the computer to access the hard drive). Everything worked fine for about 2.5 months and then the new hard drive failed. Yep, it only lasted 10 weeks. Since I was past Amazon's return window, I had to contact OWC to get a warranty replacement. After sitting on hold for an eternity, they said that they wouldn't send me an advance replacement, so I had to have the computer disassembled and leave it taken apart for WEEKS until they could send me a replacement. They instructed me to send EVERYTHING from my original order back to them and they would send me an complete replacement kit once they had received it. I did exactly that. Unfortunately, they only sent me a replacement hard drive, cable, tape removal tool, and bracket. None of the other required installation Torx screwdrivers, no nylon pry tool, no suction cups to get the display off, no microfiber cloth, and no tape to reattach the display. I contacted them again and they sent the display tape, but nothing else, so I contacted them a fourth (fifth?) time and they didn't respond to my email. It's now been 5 months and I'm stuck with a useless $200 partial SSD kit and Amazon customer service did nothing to help and was also quite rude to me. ... show more

Unbelievable
Capacity: 2.0TB
My late 2017 27” 5k iMac’s old fusion Drive have seen better days. It was slow and frustrating to use on start up so I figured I would take the chance on this SSD kit. I would rate this a 5 out of 10 on difficulty, but if you take your time clean the screen and case thoroughly you shouldn’t have any issue, I left my face down for 48 hours and used painters tape to tape around the edges to hold the screen to hold everything Good and tight for a few weeks, to avoid the horror stories I read of the screens falling out, .Fingers crossed so far so good…. this thing is lightning fast to where it used to take 2-4 minutes for my computer to start up and over a minute for it to open a program, now it is starting up and under 30 seconds and opens a program almost immediately. I did perform a memory upgrade in the past 16 gigs to 64 and honestly couldn’t tell a performance difference but with this SSD… I can’t believe how much of an improvement. Don’t be scared, buy with confidence. The kit contains everything you need except a box to clone your hard drive which is $15 on Amazon and is simple and a goggle search away. You will need to do this before starting your install. ... show more

Screen fell off using their adhesive per the instructions...
Capacity: 2.0TB
The OWC Mac hard drive kit and instructions are MOSTLY good. I found the problem is the adhesive tape that is supplied with the kit. Following the instructions precisely, the screen fell off (fortunately, nothing was damaged). The adhesive tape just isn't sufficient, so be warned. For myself, I waited 3 weeks with painter's tape holding the monitor screen on (around the outside) before removing the painter's tape...three days later the screen fell off. Disappointing that OWC didn't do testing of the product.... :( ... show more
