temp sensor on HDD
Added an SSD to the imac- wanted to change the HDD that was in there. Noticed that the new hard drive that I wanted to put in- a WD red had a temp sensor plug that was different than the one in the imac already? the new drive i am trying to install has a plug with 8 pins. Is there an adaptor I need?
Is this a good question?

Can you clarify your system info. The Mid 2011 systems don't use a separate thermal sensor. The older 2010 model does.
Look under About This Mac to locate the systems S/N, then plug it into here: EveryMac - Lookup. Once you locate your system paste the URL here for us to see.

Ahh... I just did my Mid 2010 (same as above) and the current heat sensor wire didn't fit- haven't opened up the 2011 one yet. I assumed they were the same- wanted to get all set before opening it up! Thanks for the reply.
