Can I replace my HD with this SSD? Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E1T0 1TB,Internal,6.35 cm (2.5") (MZ-75E1T0B/EU) What about the thermal sensor, is it needed?
Yes, you can swap out your current HD with a SSD drive. As you have a21.5" system you won’t have an issue with the SMC thermal management. It was and still is the 27" systems that do as they use a 3.5" drive unlike yours which uses a 2.5" drives.
