If you do buy a Seagate, go for the 4TB model (stay away from the Barracuda models). The 2010 are the last models that are actually not totally impossible to open up and DIY a hard drive replacement, and with the built-in DVD drive, they may make a nice older computer to keep around as an entertainment screen, but maybe not as a primary home office or hobby workhorse computer. If you are looking for a hard drive replacement for your Late 2009 iMac (I have the 27 inch model), you have several options: the Seagate ST4000DM000, WD Green WD40EZRX, HGST Deskstar 0S03664, among many others (just make sure you get the OWC kit). Any new computer you get for music production would really benefit from the near totally silent operation of an SSD, the computer doesn't get as hot and the fans run less if at all also. OWC offers the SSD upgrades in both 3G and 6G: 3G up to 2TB capacity, the 6G will operate at the slower SATA II speeds, but go up to 4TB capacity. "Maximum MacOS:X 10.13.x* - It is not compatible with macOS Mojave (10.14) or later versions of the operating system." The 2010 iMacs can only go up to macOS 10.13. You go from two cores to four, and 16 gigs max to 32. If you have a I3 processor, putting a i5 750S, 860S, or 870S is possible, but you need to have an expert do this. Last, but this is VERY VERY VERY hard, a processor swap. You will need a new temperature sensor, the old drive has one built in, the new one does not. Get a 2.5 to 3.5 converter, it makes life so much easier. The 2010's have a Sata II(2) hard drive, 3 gigabytes a second,īut a SATA III(3) interface, 6 gigabytes a second. The Core I5 and I7 have 32 gigabytes maximum.Īdding 16 gigabytes gives you 20, iTunes import was much faster with 20 on my 2011. Most 2010 iMacs shipped with two 2 gigabyte memory chips.Īlso, Core I3 processor machines have a maximum memory of 16 gigabytes, Depending on the processor, a 2010 still has some life in it.įirst memory.
