Upgrade the hdd in the new mid 2011 iMac without buying an Apple certified hdd? It has been recently discovered that Apple uses a new 7 pin hdd connection in their mid 2011 iMacs. When a none Apple certified hdd is installed the fans kick on during boot and system fails to start. Is a way to override the check for an Apple certified hdd either through a software(ktext?) or hardware(jump pins) modification?
HDD Fan Control is supposed to effectively solve this problem, which they reiterated today at TUAW.
