What is the appropriate hardrive to replace my old one with? I have the above emc 2429? Mine just died 😟
Any suggestions on brands or models?
Thanks

Your iMac has a standard 3.5-inch SATA hard drive. Any model you can find on Amazon will be just fine.

AFAICT, that program's expired, since it's no longer listed atApple's Exchange and Repair page.

IIRC, you can go up to a 2-TB HD in that machine, but I might be mistaken.
I have read there is an issue with the fans over working on that model.. if you replace with a non "apple" drive.. thats why i was wondering..
Thanks
Just use a fan control app like Macs Fan Control to control your hard drive fan. I use it to control my hard drive fan on a 2TB drive that I installed in my 2011 iMac. Works well.
