I've been going back and forth between installing SSD myself and sending to OWC for turnkey. But I read somewhere that Apple Certified Techs will add an SSD for you and then I remembered that I have a recall on my internal 1TB Seagate drive in my 27" iMac (2011). So then I started thinking if I could find a tech to do the recall and add the SSD at the same time that would be great.
OWC cannot do the warranty work, so that rules them out.
Apple Store will do the warranty work, but won't add the SSD.
So then I called my local Simply Mac store who are authorized to do the recall work AND are happy to install the SSD...AWESOME!!
I just ordered a 6G SSD from OWC and as soon as I get it will deliver the iMac and the SSD to Simply Mac to do both pieces of work at the same time. Can't wait!
One thing I'm concerned about is the thermal sensor on the hard drive: It looks like OWC is using sensors from Gravis.de to remedy the reporting problems in Apple Hardware Test and the fan-speed issues. I may have to install Fan Control or similar unless someone can point me to a hardware sensor. Ifixit.com did not return any results on "optical sensor" for the 2011 iMac
i just took my 3.5 drive out and made custom bracket from apples factory one for the owc ssd 6g hard drive.. i had a problem with the fan ramping up so i look all around and i found that company call hdd fan control had the fix so i bought it.. it does the job.. i just wish i new how one day..now I'm going to make a new bracket to but two ssd in the 3.5 slot..

I tested speed of my disks before the update of program DiskSpeedTest. I remember that they wrote in the updated version that they made some tweaks to tests and should now show results more accurately.
If I repeat the test I got similar results as you guys. Only half speed when writing data. Should we try any other disk speed software? Any suggestions?
Edit: I started googling after taking another Disk Speed Test and found interesting comments about the update of a program on the Mac App Store application page:
and this one:

So is completely possible what they're saying.
