Hi all,
I am considering to exchange my current drive with the Seagate Momentus XT in my iMac (late 2009). I think it is a very nice trade off between performance vs. storage vs. price.
My question is does it fit? Especially considering temperature aspects.
Comments are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Flo.

The Seagate Momentus XT drive is only a 2.5" where as your current drive is a 3.5". So as to fit you'll need to get a conversion rail set. Frankly, I would go with a high RPM 3.5" drive instead if you need to do this now. Otherwise I would wait a bit.
There are some newer hybrid drives coming (even a full 3.5" version) in the next few months that you may find better.
Here's the replacement drives for the Momentus XT Seagate announced new line up of Seagate SSHD drives
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
