Will this dock support a hard drive from a 2007 iMac?

That's one of the reasons I bought the docking station. I lost my Imac in a house fire but they recovered my hard drive. It works great for me as well as the portable 1 gig hard drive I had. I recommend it!

Should work fine - Is this your iMac - http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.4-20-inch-aluminum-specs.html

according to this web page (http://support.apple.com/kb/SP16), 2007 imac has a SATA drive. this dockstation is for sata drives. so, i think the answer is yes it will support it, as long as the drive itself is not corrupted. if it turns out the drive is corrupt, and the data is important to you, i'd recommend data savers LLC in Atlanta area.

This dock is for a SATA drive. The standard 2007 mac was an Intel core and a SATA drive. The unit fits both the laptop SATA and the 3.5 inch SATA drives. Dual openings align the drive. I have had good luck with them. I format the HD before putting it in the computer.

If you need those specific connection, it should be no problem. it works well with my iMac

I don't know. I purchased them for my NAS drive. But I would be willing to guess that if the iMac uses a standard desktop 3.5" HD then it would probably work. Most slots in computers these days are either one of two kinds. 2.5" Notebook or 3.5" Desktop. One concern with using any HD is the heat production. If your case is very cramped, then you might run into heat issues if the replacement drive creates more heat. Otherwise, if you think your case will breathe well enough, then go for it.

Not quite sure as I recently replaced my harddrive on my mac with the exact same one that I had in it before. Maybe contacting Seagate directly might be a better alternative.

I'm not sure because after purchasing the dock I sent it to our IT specialist and he told me that the drive itself was damaged and the new dock wouldn't have worked anyway. Thanks, and good luck - Gary D.

I believe the drive that is compatible with my iMac has a 4pin connector instead of the standard 8pin on top of the sata connection.

The good news is that the connector in side the dock is a standard SATA port. The bad news (for me) is that a full size desktop HD wont fit. I had to use Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply to connect my HD. Now I guess I look for a cheap laptop HD....Let me know if I can do anything else for ya.

I have a feeling that you can use it! i buy one of this, to hook my iMac 2007 to a 2013 Mac Mini and work perfectly !

The answer is yes! I bought mine to do the same thing on my Imac, worked great!

You may want to ask the WDTV people if they are compatible. The docks works great on Windows and Mac OSX for 3TB bare drives.

Yes. The first bullet point in their description reads:* Support for standard 2.5 "and 3.5" SATA hard drives (SATA-I/II/III); Compatible Operating Systems with Windows 2000/ XP /Vista/ 7/ 8, Mac OS 9.1/10.8.4 or above; Backward compatible with USB 2.0 /1.1 connections

I don't know the answer for sure, but I think it would be supported, as long as your PC supports it. The dock is just providing a place to hold the drive and the high speed connection.

It's as tall as a 3.5" desktop drive and about 75-80% as long. So if currently a normal desktop sized hard drive (3.5" form factor) is in the iMac, and not a 2.5" laptop hard drive, it could work.

I'm using this dock with Mavericks and it will transfer at SATA III spec. See http://www.cablematters.com/pc-439-101-superspeed-usb-30-to-sata-hard-drive-docking-station-supports-3tb-hard-drives.aspx

Yes it does. There is an adapter port and cables for the EIDE on the front of the dock and the slot on the top supports both 2.5 and 3.5 sata drives. I own three of them and am very satisfied with the product. I use them for my computer repair business

Unclear on what the question is; if the older HDD is SATA, then it should work fine. (This suggests that is the case, http://support.apple.com/kb/SP11?viewlocale=en_US&locale;=en_US).

I do not believe it could be compatible cause the old drive is probably an IDE drive and this dock is for SATA hard drives
