Hey guys,
Anyone know if this is still an issue with the new iMacs that were released in mid-2011? Did apple create firmware or do something to address it?
That sounds like a painful learning experience. Thanks for sharing.
thank you deepnarc! 🙂

I replaced the stock seagate HDD with a 2.0TB Western Digital Caviar Green "GreenPower" SATA-II HDD drive.
Just to be sure, please tell me part number for the drive? Thx much.
Well, I can tell you I got it from Other World Computing.

Well, 2009 iMac is not the same as 2011 - there are no proprietary hard drives used.
BTW 2007 iMacs could use any HDDs without issues, so Apple intentionally makes things harder and harder.
It's probably less grief to pay OWC to change the drive, or change it yourself. Good luck.
...And the objective testing made on this WD drive:
