Configuration flexibility is yours when you replace your iMac's internal SuperDrive with the OWC Data Doubler. Bundle includes bracket, screws, OWC Microfiber cloth, suctions cups, tools and a Quick Start Guide for a complete all in one solution.
Then, just install the entire assembly into an iMac's 5.25" optical drive bay. OWC Data Doubler makes it easy to custom design how you want your internal storage to perform. Installed drives are recognized like any other high speed SATA storage device and can be setup and partitioned using the Apple Disk Utility Program.

Just a few of the configuration options you can enjoy with Data Doubler:

  • Combining a new drive with the existing internal drive for one larger volume (SPAN).
  • Combining a new matching drive with existing internal for high-performance RAID-0 Stripe volume.
  • Configuring a new drive as a Time Machine backup drive.
  • Formatting one drive for the Mac OS and the other dedicated for Windows.
You don't have to give up your optical drive completely if you don't want to. You can reuse the original SuperDrive with the OWC Value Line Slim optical drive enclosure for Apple SuperDrive.
  1. Professional installation of Data Doubler into an iMac is highly recommended due to degree of installation difficulty. OWC assumes no responsibility for damage that may occur during the install.

    2TB OWC Mercury Electra 3G 2.5-inch 7mm SATA 3.0Gb/s Solid-State Drive

    1. 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.
    2. 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.

    Great upgrade for my late 2009 iMac!

    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.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!
