I am not sure you will be able to find precisely the same model hard drive. Hitachi made the drive in 2009. The odds arfe that drive is no longer available. In fact, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies itself has changed - it is now part of Western Digital.


A better strategy might be to find out what drive is installed in the current iMacs, and get that.
