Upgrading old HD to new SSD
Greetings all,
I am about to embark on a similar project, to replace my mom's iMac 7.1 HDD with a brand new SSD disk. Before I bumped into this page here on IFIXIT, I came across this guide: Changing-an-iMacs-HDD
Apparently, re-glueing the thermal sensor connector on a new disk should be doable, although Instructables website above referred to an HDD, not an SSD. Most probably because SSD's where not popular at that time (the guide is from 2010).
This is the part where the sensor is connected again, using a thermal compound: Instructables - Reconnecting
Can those operations be repeated on a SSD drive? Were the thermal sensors (mentioned in the comments before mine) left hanging around for a specific reason?
Cheers
Massimo
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Depending on your system you may need a different solution.
