I have 27" Late 2009 iMac.
Can I replace original 1TB HDD with 1TB SSD?
My only lingering worry is how to handle temperature sensor for the HDD.
Obviously SSD will not have temperature sensor, so what should I do with the temperature sensor for HDD?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Yes you can do it if you can afford it,
But the 1 tb SSD will be little expensive and a caddy to fit it...
You can buy a smaller ssd and a dvd to hdd caddy and replace the dvd with new ssd (depending on your time)if you are not using the dvd any more...

Actually the one iFixit was selling (out of stock now) was not that bad on price: Crucial MX500 1 TB SSD
The kit cost for a 1 TB is $389.99
Yes , iFixit prices is good , and the 500gb ssd kit is in stock!
You can make you old one Usb external.... and keep your dvd drive!
