Hello out there.

I fell this is were close. I haved found a replacement hdd for my iMac mid 2011. It is the same brand as the original hdd (WD).

I think i only need to install s.m.a.r.t soft ware on the new hdd.  When i swip hdd and install 10.8 mountain lion. I can hear

the fans very low noise, but when i try to make Apple Hardwere Test. It fails.

Is there any solution for problem or ??

Hello Mate,

To my understanding, S.M.A.R.T is not a software, is a chip that comes install in all the hard drives in the market.

Hello ragdexx.

I think i readed in OWC. where i found this hdd WD1002FAEX 1.0TB. It could be use for the iMac 2011.

right now my iMac working, but my storage is slowly going be used up. (500gb WD). 

But i read on the internet some wehere. I forgot where. You could install s.m.a.r.t  from Windows pc on the new hdd.

And swip hdd on the iMac and put  Mac OSX after that.
