What replacement SSD should I get for iMac Model A1225

With a failed hard disk in my iMac, What is the best and most suitable replacement available.
Disk space isn't really a factor, >120GB will suffice, my primary concern is getting the right make/model to fit my imac.

Extremely! It's best done by a AASP that does this type of service.

  • What volt charger should I get for my MacBook? It is a DC to AC inverter?

    Hi, I recently purchased a inverter charger that has an outlet to charge a computer and can be used as a typical USB charger for a phone. The charger says that it has a continuous charge of 120V but a maximum of 150V. I don't understand what the problem is though because on the MacBook charger it says that it's intake is 100-240V and all of the other outputs and inputs match the specifications for the charging device. A normal phone charger that you can plug into the wall worked in this charger, so is it the computer or the charger? And also if it is the computer, what voltage amount should I get? Thank you very much!

    Your Macbook charger will specify the number of watts it uses (very fine print somewhere on the charger brick).  Your inverter MUST be able provide at least that much power, or I'm guessing your Macbook charger would have problems.

  • What case/sleeve should I get for my macbook air 11"?

    I just got a macbook air 11" for Christmas, and don't know what kind of case to get. I carry it around in my backpack everyday for school, so I need a solid case. A lot of my friends have the hard case and a neoprene case/sleeve. I used a neoprene case/sleeve for my macbook (white) but I've noticed that this unibody design makes the computer a lot more prone to denting easily. Any ideas on what cases to get?

  • What Super Drive should I get for ILife 06?

    Hi, I have a G5 2.5 Power Mac 7.3. I bought ILife 06 and am trying to edit DVD's I copied from tape to make another DVD. iDVD says my Mac does not have a supported superdrive. What should I get to update this new to me computer? Everything says this is sooo easy. I am not finding it easy in the least. Thought this new computer would cover all the bases. How do you plug in video to this computer? I miss my old G3 that finally died by my hand trying to upgrade it....

    Hi, I have a G5 2.5 Power Mac 7.3. I bought ILife 06
    and am trying to edit DVD's I copied from tape to
    make another DVD.
    Copying home-made DVDs is easy (Disk Utility) but editing is more difficult.
    iDVD says my Mac does not have a
    supported superdrive.
    Your drive shows as supported, so it may be some iDVD problem. Does the drive burn with other applications. e.g. Disk Utility, iTunes, or Finder.
    How do you plug in video to this computer?
    You need a video input device. It could be a PCI card (depending on your computers bus), a FireWire device, or an USB device. If you have a digital camcorder it can be used to input video via FireWire. If you have to buy something, look here: <http://www.elgato.com>

  • What ribbon cable should I get for my 3rd drive?

    Hi, I just installed my 3rd hard disk drive in my 933MHZ(was 733) QuickSilver G4.
    I recently emailed a vendor asking:
    "Hello, I have a Mac 733 Quick Silver computer and I just installed my
    third hard disk drive. I need a 40 pin 4(for later) drive scsi ribbon
    cable. Can you help me? THANKS!
    Darren"
    His response:
    "Darren, Two drives is the most you can get with standard IDE.
    Dave"
    Did I ask for the wrong cable. From what I understand the QuickSilver can accomodate up to 4 internal drives. I would prefer to install a cable: 5 connector 4 drive than install a card.
    The cable that I am using now for the 2 drives is APPLE P/N 590-2253 REV A
    FOXCONN P/N FC80C17-00 K 0115. On the white lable is 080-0003-192 FOXCONN.
    TIA

    Hi
    Unlike SCSI, each IDE/ATA channel can only support a maximum of two devices, hence there isn't such a thing as a 5 connector 4 drive IDE ribbon cable. The options for a third ATA drive are:
    1. Mount it in the bay intended for a Zip drive (beneath the optical drive). Apple don't recommend this though due to possible heat issues and the bus is slower, being ATA/33 rather than ATA/66, which may affect performance.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58200
    2. Mount it in an external firewire enclosure which can be bought separately (driveless).
    3. Buy a Mac compatible PCI card containing another ATA controller. These typically have two channels, each channel supporting two drives, for four drives in total.
    4. Replace the ATA drive with a SATA drive and buy a Mac compatible PCI card containing a SATA controller. These typically have two channels, each channel supporting one drive, for two drives in total. They can be used in conjunction with the two ATA drives on the inbuilt ATA controller though, and four channel versions are available supporting four drives.

  • What graphics card should I get for video editing?

    I recently purchased a G5 2.3ghz,Canon GL2 camcorder and Final Cut Express HD. Does any one have any suggestions on a good graphics card? I was thinking of buying a radeon 9800pro or would I be better off with the Radeon X800 XT.

    Hi,
    Firstly the card may work properly and the monitor may go to sleep after 1 hr or the power option (even it does not have battery) may turn the screen off after 1 hour. What is the model of your machine actually, for example the following link shows one model (HP TouchSmart 610-1150y):
       http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c02861058#N155
    Upgrading/replacing video card on AIO machines is relative simpler than on laptops BUT finding the RIGHT card could be very difficult. 
    Regards.

  • What specs/ upgrades should I get for a Macbook pro that I'm buying?

    I don't want to spend a ton of money but enough that the macbok pro will be really fast.
    I browse the web a lot
    I watch youtube and netflix on it
    I will need it to do college assignments
    I will need to do basic video and picture editing

    I think either of the 13" MacBook Pro models would do, with RAM upgraded to 8Gb. That would put you at $1399 for the 2.4GHz, $1699 for the 2.8GHz.
    You could save some money by getting a stock MacBook and upgrading the memory via the various third-party RAM vendors. They'll charge a lot less - OWC has an 8Gb upgrade kit for less than $50, vs Apple's $200, and you might even get a rebate for sending your old RAM to them.
    Other people may have different opinions, but that's mine. Good luck with your new Mac.

  • What kind of Mac configuration should I get for video editing

    I have been using after effects and premiere pro a lot and has been experiencing lots off lag, even when I am using the Internet. What Mac configuration should I get for this type of editing?

    When I was doing more video editing, two things mattered ..... a fast CPU and lots of memory. Having the horsepower to handle activities like rendering really helps.
    On lag, while it certainly can be application-driven, you might look over this FAQ for some ideas.
    If you haven't already, you might also ask in the FCP dicussion here.
