1.0TB OWC Mercury Electra 3G 2.5-inch 7mm SATA 3.0Gb/s Solid-State Drive
- 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5-10% less). The actual total capacity will depend on your own defined file settings/preferences.
- Temperature reporting is currently an unsupported feature because due to the operating characteristics of SSDs, it is highly unlikely one would ever exceed an OWC Mercury SSD's stated operating temperature ceiling of 158F/70C. However, we are looking into supporting this feature in the future via a firmware update. Firmware updates can be found here: http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/OWC/SSD.

Verified Purchase.- Reviewer:DelightfulChinchilla-10281
Purchased to install current macOS versions on my unsupported iMac. Install went smoothly and soon after installed Mojave on the new drive. A couple of weeks later Catalina was released and you can guess what followed. Yep, now running Catalina as I type this. One unexpected side benefit is with the original HDD running High Sierra retained it serves as an alternate boot drive. All in All, great product and functions as advertised. Highly recommend this kit for anyone looking to extend the life of a still functional iMac.
