    Hi all the hard drive has failed in my late 2010 27" iMac. Can anybody recommend somewhere in dublin that will do a replacement for me? I have time machine backups of my data if that makes in an easier job? Also what are people's thoughts on changing to ssd while I'm at it?

    Not sure of anywhere off the top of my head but definitely worth upgrading to an SSD.

    SSD upgrade is definitely worth it.

    If you're in anyway technologically minded, replacing the drive yourself is quite easy. There's a lot of videos online on YouTube of people going through the steps. I followed one earlier this year in replacing the drive. It was quite easy, I must admit.

    There's a few place in Dublin that could do it, but I've not used any of them so I can't send on a recommendation for one.

    Right Click (http://www.right-click.ie/) on Camden St. put an SSD into my iMac and did a great job. I could never go back after having an SSD in there.

    CompuB fitted an SSD to our home one in 2012. Excellent service.

    Thanks for the replies ended up getting a 250gb SSD & 1tb HDD installed by right-click. Great service with the work all done on the same day. The SSD makes a huge difference the iMac is seriously snappy now!
