HT3559 what is the format of a 500gb drive inside an imac?

I need help to replace an HDD of a 21.5 mid 2010 iMac with something faster (I'm thinking about a Seagate 750GB SSHD hybrid drive) and for that I need to know what is the physical size (2,5" or 3,5" or the actual measurement of the drive's dimensions) of the HDD (500GB SATA) built in. The idea is to have prepared a new drive so that the replacement goes smoothly.

Just google the drive in question (or go directly to the Seagate site) + "form factor."  The orginal drive will be 3.5" and have a standard size.
I don't know what will happen with a hybrid, but you might want to know before plungng ahead that all the drives for that model are Apple proprietary, with special firmware for the reading of the internal temp sensor.
The usual result of replacing the drive is that the SMC (System Management) receives no input for the temp of the drive and revs the drive fan up to max. One workaround for this, at least with ordinary drives, is to get the free SSD Fan Control.

  • What are the benefits of solid state drives for an iMac

    I am thinking of getting a new iMac and would like to know the whys and wherefores of a solid state drive, please. The one that is sold with the iMac is 250 gig. Does that mean it's storage capacity is lower than a normal 1TB hard drive?
    The views of anybody who has one would be welcome.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    The one that is sold with the iMac is 250 gig. Does that mean it's storage capacity is lower than a normal 1TB hard drive?
    Yes!  But you can access the stuff faster and of course boot faster.  They are quiet, run cool, and have low power consumption.

  • What's the format of the datasource tag in jbosscmp-jdbc.xml

    Hi,
    I made a CMP when I use Lomboz to generate the classes, and xml files, but I still don't know how to relate my CMP to datasource.
    I thought may be I should configure the jbosscmp-jdbc.xml, because when I look in this file and found:
    <defaults>
    <datasource>PLEASE_MODIFY_THIS</datasource>
    <datasource-mapping>PLEASE_MODIFY_THIS</datasource-mapping>
    <preferred-relation-mapping>PLEASE_MODIFY_THIS</preferred-relation-mapping>
    </defaults>
    But I don't know how to "modify this", What do those tags mean? what are those for? and what are the Formats?
    My database -- mySQL
    datasouce xml file -- test-ds.xml:
    <datasources>
    <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>jdbc/test</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql://devsz-ma3.cn1.belton.com.hk:3306/test?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8</connection-url>

  • When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on a Domain Index, what is the format of data returned

    hello,
    When I call nifGetObjectDictionary on an Active Schedule Domain Index (450) of NI Card, retrieved from S-OD -> DLL Link Schedule OD Index, what is the format of data returned? I received 0801C202FFFF000000 as data and it is not matching with FF-Spec (Field Device Access Agent, page 95).
    Could you please let me know the format/structure of the data i received, so that i can parse them and understand?
    Also let me know is there any API available in NI API to upload/read Schedule Domain?
    Thanks
    Shankar.

    Sorry for replying late!
    We don't have the nifGetObjectDictionary function, so may I make a guess that you mean nifGetObjectDescription? If I'm right, there will be some trouble.
    To be honest, basically we don't support the APIs which are not included in the "NI-FBUS CM Function Reference Manual". In further, would you please let me know how you find this kind of internal functions? We cannot support it until we verify the customer has bought the complete version of APIs package and this package is still in the support period. If it matches your case, would you please help me in the verification? And then we can support the details for your question later.
    On the other hand, we don't have the APIS to upload/read Schedule Domain now.

    what is the format  for  0calmonth2,0calquarter,0calweek,0calyear,0fiscper,0ficper3, 0halfyear1, 0weekday1

    Hi Dominic,
    0FISCPER is a NUMC 7 infoobject. And it takes your 003.200 seven symbols leaving the last symbol. Though, the output format is length of 8.
    A'm not sure if you are dealing with external format (in this case try to enter 0032005) or with internal (then try 2005003).
    Best regards,
    Eugene

    One of these SSDs:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/SSDMX6G480/
    An SSD is always a faster storage solution. A regular hard drive will almost ALWAYS be the bottleneck in a system, because it's the only part in a computer that has physical, moving parts. The SSD has no moving parts, so there's much less latency when reading and writing. That particular SSD is designed with professionals in mind, meaning that it will right at home rendering video in Final Cut. Hope that helps!
