Late 2013 iMac 27" UPGRADE
Hi,
I finish to read your teardown with a lot of interest.
As you were the first team to answer correctly to my interrogations about Apple upgrades, perhaps I will buy my first iMAC this year!
But before to do it, first I need to go deeper:
My choice will go to a MAC 27" core i7, GTX780M, 256 GB SSD, As I am unable to fix my storage for the next 5 years, I would like to know if I need later to move to a bigger storage (512 GB/1TB):
Q1) Do you know where to buy one?
Q2) Does Apple use to sell them?
and if I choose to upgrade my future "native" SSD PCIe 256 GB to fusion disk by adding a SATA HDD:
Q3) Which models Apple use to deal with (to be sure to get a size/heat/firmware compatible one)?
Q4) Does fusion Disk still work with 128+ SSD (256, 512, ...)
You describe exactly how to open, but:
Q5) Do you have a roadbook to close and put everything inside?
Q6) May you explain with more detailed/animated photos the step 17, 19 of the "Replacing iMac Intel 27" EMC 2546 Display" which is the detailed and reference teardown for the EMC 2639?
It seems that Apple uses Samsung SSD XP941 with a customized connector (XP941 uses a 4 lines PCIe, and MBA only a 2 lines)
Q7) do you check which models are used for iMAC 2639?
(this customized connector will disallow futures upgrade from native XP941 models sources: http://www.laptopspirit.fr/132869/samsun...)
Best regards,
Fred.
