Tuve que hacer el cambio del disco duro de mecánico a solido de mi iMac, y al cambiarlo me entregaron un Toshiba, pero revisando en internet, normalmente vienen con otras marcas. Apple uso en algún momento Discos Toshiba?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 13.6
In 2017, 21.4-inch iMacs, unless up-ordered, shipped with a 2.5-inch laptop-class mechanical SATA 3GB 5400 rpm hard drive. Rather slow.
Based on what I see in System Information, most Apple factory NMVE blade-type SSDs are coded "SM" for Samsung. I see that code in my 2017 5k with the factory-installed SSD option:
In general, NVME SSDs require a special factory-installed slot and look like this:
However, the most common replacement like you describe is to replace the mechanical hard drive with an SATA SSD that connects to an existing, conventional mech drive bus. They share the basic form factor with 2.5-inch mech drives:
Pre the MacTracker database, Apple first offered factory SSDs in 2010 27-inch iMacs and, from what I can glean, these were SATA drives. The slot for the NVME drive was kot used until the 2012 models. An NVME SSD is about 4-5x faster than an SATA 6GB SSD, but both are far faster the the mech hard drive you replaced.
I replaced the HD in my older Macbook Pro with an inexpensive "OWC" SATA SSD over five year ago and it still shows an amazing speed increase. Without it I would have dumped the old Macbook Pro long ago; today it still serves me well as a travel computer,
We can confirm you exact drive model and check to see if TRIMforce is engaged on the new SSD (some service providers to not take that step). The easiest way to present that data here is with a system config snapshot.
We can quickly and within the limitations of these forums help you determine what issues are at play without our playing a protracted game of "20 Questions" with you that could go on for days.
EtreCheck Pro is available here:
The free version will do nicely for this purpose, although the app is worthy of our financial support.

Was it an Apple Store, an AASP or some other shop that upgraded the drive for you...?
Apple Stores use OEM parts for repairs and do not generally do drive upgrades.
Apple Authorized Service Provides have more flexibility with repair parts and upgrades.
Other shops can do whatever they want and are not affiliated with or governed by Apple.
FWIW Toshiba makes decent drives and it should last as long or longer than the OEM drive.
What hard drive does a 2017 iMac come with?
I had to change the hard drive from mechanical to solid in my iMac, and when I changed it they gave me a Toshiba, but checking on the internet, they normally come with other brands. Did Apple ever use Toshiba drives?
