imac 升級 ssd

If you’re still rocking an older iMac but want to breathe some new life into it, replacing the traditional hard drive with a solid-state drive is a great way to do that.

如果您仍在搖擺舊版iMac，但又想給它注入新的活力，那麼用固態硬碟代替傳統硬碟是一種很好的方法。

Solid-state drives (SSDs) have a ton of advantages, including faster write and read speeds, which essentially means that your computer can boot up quicker and open applications much faster than before. There are still

固態驅動器(SSD)具有很多優點，包括更快的讀寫速度，這實質上意味著您的計算機可以比以前更快地啟動並開啟應用程式。 固態驅動器仍有一些要注意的地方，但是在大多數情況下，它們是可以長期升級到計算機的最佳升級之一。

If you have an older iMac that was made before Apple started to glue everything together, then accessing the internal components is decently easy, albeit much more involved than a normal PC.Swappingout the hard drive, though, is a piece of cake, especially if you’ve already done it on other computers in the past.

如果您擁有一臺較舊的iMac，它是在Apple開始將所有東西粘合在一起之前製造的，那麼訪問內部元件就相當容易了，儘管比普通PC涉及得多。 不過，換掉硬碟驅動器只是小菜一碟，特別是如果您過去已經在其他計算機上完成過它。

你需要什麼 (What You’ll Need)

Before you begin, you’ll need a few tools that you might not already have.

在開始之前，您將需要一些可能尚未擁有的工具。

• Suction cups (iFixit sells a pair specifically for this kind of work)

  吸盤( iFixit專門為此出售一對)

• A small Phillips-head screwdriver
  十字螺絲刀
• A T6 Torx screwdriver
  T6梅花螺絲刀
• A T8 Torx screwdriver
  T8梅花螺絲刀

• A spudger (Again, iFixit sells these)

  騙子(同樣， iFixit出售這些)

• The solid-state drive of your choice
  您選擇的固態驅動器

• A 3.5″ to 2.5″ hard drive adapter (there are ton to choose from, but here’s a cheap one that will work fine)

  3.5英寸至2.5英寸硬碟驅動器介面卡(有很多選擇，但是這裡有個便宜的介面卡可以正常工作)

• Tweezers (Useful for when you accidentally drop screws in tight areas)
  鑷子(當您不小心將螺釘掉入狹窄區域時很有用)

Depending on what year your iMac is from, you might need different sizes of Torx screwdrivers, which is why it’s probably a good idea just to get a small set of specialty precision bits. That way, you’ll have all the bits you need no matter what. For this how-to, I’m working on a 2008 iMac, and the specific tools listed above are the ones needed for this particular model, but it’s possible that yours might have different sizes of Torx screws. This page will help you find out what you need.

根據您iMac的生產年份，您可能需要不同大小的Torx螺絲起子，這就是為什麼僅獲取少量特殊精度鑽頭可能是一個好主意的原因。 這樣一來，無論如何，您將擁有所需的所有位。 對於此操作方法，我正在使用2008 iMac，上面列出的特定工具是該特定型號所需的工具，但是您的工具可能有不同尺寸的Torx螺釘。 此頁面將幫助您找到所需的資訊。

第一步：拆卸iMac (Step One: Disassemble Your iMac)

Unplug everything from your iMac and lay the machine down on a flat surface with the screen pointing up.

從iMac上拔下所有插頭，然後將計算機向下放在平面上，螢幕朝上。

On the bottom edge of the iMac, take your Phillips screwdriver and remove the lone screw, which will allow the memory access plate to come off. The screw won’t come all the way out, so just loosen it all the way and then pull the plate out.

在iMac的底部邊緣，拿起Phillips螺絲刀，然後擰下單獨的螺釘，這將使記憶體訪問板脫落。 螺釘不會完全鬆開，所以只需將其完全鬆開，然後將板拉出即可。

Next, take your suction cups and place them in opposite corners of the screen. The glass is simply held on by magnets, so all you have to do is lift straight up and the glass panel will come right off.

接下來，拿起吸盤並將它們放在螢幕的相對角上。 玻璃只需用磁鐵固定即可，因此您所要做的就是直接向上提起玻璃面板。

Place the glass panel off to the side. If you’re worried about scratching it, place it on a soft surface away from the work area.

將玻璃面板放在一邊。 如果您擔心刮花，請將其放在遠離工作區域的柔軟表面上。

Next, there are twelve T8 Torx screws around the edge of the display that need removed. Be aware that the four screws along the bottom are longer than the rest, so make sure you put all of them back in the correct locations.

接下來，在顯示屏邊緣附近需要卸下十二顆T8 Torx螺釘。 請注意，底部的四個螺釘比其餘的要長，因此請確保將所有所有螺釘都放回正確的位置。

After you remove these screws, it’s time to remove the whole front bezel. The best way to do this is by starting in the upper corners. Place your thumb on the edge of the display and your fingers on the back side of the iMac.From there, push your thumb down as your pull up your fingers. This will loosen the bezel and you can begin to work your way down until the whole bezel lifts up. Do this very slowly and carefully, as there is a cable you’ll need to disconnect!

卸下這些螺釘之後，就該卸下整個前擋板了。 最好的方法是從上角開始。 將拇指放在顯示屏的邊緣，將手指放在iMac的背面。 從那裡，在您拉起手指時將拇指向下推。 這將使擋板變鬆，您可以開始向下移動直到整個擋板抬起。 請非常緩慢且謹慎地執行此操作，因為您需要斷開電纜連線！

Before you completely remove the bezel, disconnect the microphone cable at the top.

完全卸下擋板之前，請斷開頂部的麥克風電纜。

Place the bezel off to the side, and you’ll now have access to the bottom portion of the internal components. Take this time to use some compressed air and clean out any dust if you want.

將擋板放到一邊，現在您可以使用內部元件的底部。 花些時間使用一些壓縮空氣，並根據需要清除所有灰塵。

Next, remove the “LCD Temp” connector located just to the right of the left-hand side cooling fan.

接下來，卸下左側冷卻風扇右側的“ LCD Temp”聯結器。

After that, locate the connection for the display cable and remove the two T6 Torx screws on either side of the connector.

之後，找到顯示電纜的連線，然後卸下聯結器兩側的兩顆T6 Torx螺釘。

After that, pull up on the black tab to disconnect the display cable from the iMac’s logic board.

之後，向上拉黑色標籤以斷開顯示電纜與iMac邏輯板上的連線。

Now it’s time to remove the display unit. Unscrew the eight T8 Torx screws around the outer edge of the display. There are four screws on each side.

現在該拆卸人機介面了。 擰開顯示屏外側邊緣的八顆T8 Torx螺釘。 每側有四個螺釘。

Next, from the left side, left up on the display unit and open it like a book, leaving the right-side portion resting on the iMac. Either have a friend hold it up like that or use a stick or something to prop it up.

接下來，從左側在顯示單元上向左開啟，然後像一本書一樣開啟它，而將右側部分放在iMac上。 像那樣讓一個朋友舉起它，或者用棍子或其他東西支撐它。

This is because the display is still connected to the iMac via four inverter cables. Simply unplug these.

這是因為顯示器仍通過四根逆變器電纜連線到iMac。 只需拔下這些。

After that, you can completely remove the display unit and set it off to the side. This will finally get you access to the internal hard drive.

之後，您可以完全卸下人機介面並將其放在側面。 這最終將使您能夠訪問內部硬碟驅動器。

第二步：卸下原始硬碟驅動器 (Step Two: Remove the Original Hard Drive)

To begin removing the hard drive, you’ll first need to remove the temperature sensor that’s connected to the hard drive with adhesive, so remove the foam covering the sensor and then use your spudger to pry off the temperature sensor assembly from the hard drive’s surface.

要開始卸下硬碟驅動器，您首先需要使用粘合劑卸下與硬碟驅動器相連的溫度感測器，因此請除去覆蓋感測器的泡沫，然後使用撬棒從硬碟驅動器表面撬起溫度感測器元件。 。

You could unplug the temperature sensor from its connector, but there’s too great of a chance that you’ll reverse the connection or not plug it back in all the way, which will result in your iMac’s cooling fans running full blast all the time until you re-seat the connection.

您可以從其聯結器上拔下溫度感測器的插頭，但是很有可能會顛倒連線或不完全將其插回去，這將導致iMac的散熱風扇一直處於完全爆炸狀態，直到您重新安裝連線。

The hard drive is held in place with a strong clip, and it takes a pretty good amount of force to remove it. You’ll need to push down and in on the clip to unseat it, then pull up and towards you to remove the hard drive.

硬碟驅動器用牢固的夾子固定在適當的位置，要用力將其卸下。 您需要向下推動並向內按夾子以使其脫離，然後朝您的方向向上拉以卸下硬碟驅動器。

Once the hard drive is out of its compartment, you’ll need to unplug the SATA data and power cables from the drive. Simply pull them out or use your spudger to carefully pry them off if you’re having difficulty.

硬碟驅動器從托架中取出後，您需要從驅動器上拔下SATA資料和電源線。 只需將它們拉出即可，或者在遇到困難時使用撬棒仔細撬開它們。

Once the hard drive is completely removed, you’ll now need to transfer the locking tab portion over to the new SSD and attach it to the SSD adapter. The adapter is there is so that the 2.5″ SSD can properly fit into the 3.5″ hard drive bay in the iMac.

硬碟驅動器完全卸下後，您現在需要將鎖定卡舌部分轉移到新的SSD上，並將其連線到SSD介面卡。 有介面卡，以便2.5英寸SSD可以正確裝入iMac中的3.5英寸硬碟驅動器托架中。

You’ll also need to remove the temperature sensor and the two pins on the other side of the original hard drive and move them to the SSD adapter as well.

您還需要卸下溫度感測器和原始硬碟驅動器另一側的兩個引腳，並將它們也移至SSD介面卡。

第三步：安裝SSD (Step Three: Install the SSD)

You’re now ready to install the SSD into your iMac. Start by connecting the SATA data and power cables to the SSD.

現在您可以將SSD安裝到iMac中了。 首先將SATA資料和電源線連線到SSD。

Next, insert the pins into their respective ports on the iMac and then drop the rest of the SSD in. Lock it in place with the locking tab, making sure that it clicks into place.

接下來，將插針插入iMac各自的埠中，然後放下其餘的SSD。使用鎖定卡舌將其固定在適當的位置，確保其卡入到位。

Depending how the adapter mounts your SSD, the SATA cables may not be able to reach, which means you’re stuck. However, what you can do is simply get rid of the adapter and connect just the SSD, leaving it hanging freely. There are no moving parts and even without the adapter bracket, it will still stay snug inside once the iMac is reassembled.

根據介面卡安裝SSD的方式，可能無法連線SATA電纜，這意味著您被卡住了。 但是，您可以做的就是簡單地擺脫介面卡，僅連線SSD，使其自由懸掛。 沒有活動部件，即使沒有介面卡支架，一旦重新組裝iMac，它仍然會緊貼內部。

第四步：重新組裝iMac (Step Four: Reassemble Your iMac)

Now that the SSD is in place and ready to go, it’s time to put everything back together. Luckily, reassembling itis the same astaking it apart, but in reverse.

現在，SSD已經準備就緒，可以使用了，現在該將所有內容放回原處了。 幸運的是，重新組裝它與拆開它一樣，但是相反。

Start by placing the display unit back on, making sure to rest the right edge on the iMac as you prop up the left side, since you’ll need to plug the inverter cables back in. The good news is that these inverter cables are interchangeable, so it doesn’t matter which of the two you plug into the connectors on both the top and bottom.

首先將人機介面重新裝上，並確保將iMac的右邊緣放在左側，因為您需要重新插入逆變器電纜。好訊息是這些逆變器電纜是可互換的，因此插入頂部和底部的聯結器中的哪一個都不重要。

After you plug back in the inverter cables, you can mount the display unit back on the iMac and screw it all in. If it doesn’t sit flush, it’s likely the inverter cables getting in the way, so check to make sure they’re tucked in and out of the way.

重新插入逆變器電纜後，您可以將人機介面重新安裝到iMac上，然後將其全部擰緊。如果顯示器不齊平，則可能是逆變器電纜擋住了，因此請檢查並確保其牢固。重新塞進和移開。

Next, Plug the display cable back in and screw in the two T6 Torx screws.

接下來，將顯示電纜重新插入並擰緊兩個T6 Torx螺釘。

Don’t forget about the LCD temperature sensor cable as well.

也不要忘記LCD溫度感測器電纜。

Place the bezel back on and remember to reconnect the microphone cable.

重新裝上擋板，並記住重新連線麥克風電纜。

When placing the bezel back on, remember that the four screws along the bottom are longer than the rest.

重新裝上擋板時，請記住，底部的四個螺釘比其餘的螺釘要長。

Now it’s time to place the front glass panel back on, but before you do this, make sure there aren’t any fingerprints or dust on the display unit oron eithersideof the glass. It’s not a huge issue if you forget to do this, since you just need to get the suction cups back out, but it’s better to do it now while it’s still torn apart.

現在該重新裝上前玻璃面板了，但是在執行此操作之前，請確保人機介面上或玻璃的兩邊沒有任何指紋或灰塵。 如果您忘記這樣做，這並不是一個大問題，因為您只需要取回吸盤，但是最好在它仍然被撕裂時立即進行操作。

With the suction cups still on the glass panel, slowly place it on the screen until the magnets take over and lock it into place.

在吸盤仍在玻璃面板上的情況下，將其慢慢放在螢幕上，直到磁鐵佔據並鎖定到位。

Remove the suction cups and you’re good to go! Place the iMac back on your desk, reconnect any cables and power it up. You’ll obviously need to format and install OS X, or restore from a cloned backup. We have a thorough guide that takes you through that process, but in quick terms, you’ll make a USB boot drive of OS X using DiskMaker X and then boot up your Mac while holding down the Alt key to bring up the installer. After you install OS X, be sure to enable TRIMfor better performance.

卸下吸盤，您就可以開始了！ 將iMac放回您的桌上，重新連線所有電纜並開啟電源。 顯然，您需要格式化和安裝OS X，或從克隆的備份中還原。 我們有一份詳盡的指南，可指導您完成該過程，但快速而言，您將使用DiskMaker X製作OS X的USB引導驅動器，然後在按住Alt鍵啟動安裝程式的同時引導Mac。 安裝OS X之後，請確保啟用TRIM，以獲得更好的效能。
