Everything you need to replace the optical drive on your iMac (2009-2012) with a second hard drive or SSD.

Boost your storage capacity by adding up to 2.0TB of additional internal storage with a second hard drive, or enjoy near-instantaneous boot and app loading times by adding a Solid-State Drive (SSD).

Configuration flexibility is yours when you replace your 2009-2011 iMac's internal SuperDrive with an OWC Data Doubler and hard drive or SSD. The custom-engineered Data Doubler bracket comes ready to mount any 2.5-inch SATA drive up to 12.5mm in height.

Once you've installed the entire Data Doubler drive assembly into your 2009-2011 iMac's optical drive bay, you can customize how you want your internal storage to perform. Drive customization is easy and built right into OS X as the new Data Doubler mounted drive can be setup using Apple's Disk Utility program in which you can format the drive, create a RAID array using two drives together, or partition the new drive. Once formatted you can also setup the second drive as a Time Machine backup so you can take your backup with your wherever you go.

OWC provides free installation videos that guide this DIY upgrade step-by-step for each specific Mac model. Data Doubler also comes backed by OWC's award-winning U.S.A. based technical support team which is readily available to assist you with your upgrade should you have any questions.

Reuse Your Optical Drive

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 Slim Optical Drive Enclosure for Apple SuperDrive.

*Professional installation of Data Doubler into an iMac is highly recommended due to degree of installation difficulty

trying to upgrade the 2011 27" iMac main Hard drive

Have not had a chance to do it yet . Hopefully this week. Just not sure if i have the right cable now. Its the black cspecial able in the iMac HD upgrade Kit not the Red cable shown in the SSD upgrade under the CD rom. Do I need the red cable for a direct HD to SSD drive in the main drive spot plugged in the same spot as the SSD upgrade under the CD Rom ?

I would recommend this product to a friend!

Response from OWC, Support

The cabling provided should be correct if ordered for a 2009-2011 iMac however, I recommend sending us an email at support@owc.com with your serial number of your computer as well as your Order Confirmation number and a picture of what you received, we'll be able to determine if it is the correct cable for your computer!

SDD does not quite fit (inner frame too short)

A better user instruction guide would be helpful.
