## Long description

OWC's In-line Digital Thermal Sensor cable enables installation of a third-party SATA drive in compatible iMac models while preserving correct system fan control and Apple's diagnostic compatibility. This plug-and-play hardware sensor replaces the iMac's original drive with up to an 8.0TB hard drive or a fast SSD (or paired with a NewerTech AdaptaDrive) to increase storage capacity or data speed without software hacks. The kit includes the sensor cable, suction cups for outer glass removal, Torx T8S and T10S drivers, a pry tool and a microfiber cleaning cloth. Before attempting installation, watch the OWC install video for your iMac model to assess the complexity; OWC offers professional installation service if you are not confident performing the upgrade yourself.
