I understand that by placing this online order, I am agreeing to send my iMac to the MCE Service Center for upgrade, as noted below.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Installation by MCE Technologies or an MCE Authorized Upgrade Center is required. Order online here only if you want to have the upgrade procedure performed by MCE Technologies at our Irvine, California Service Center, to which you will send the computer as outlined below. If you would rather not ship your computer to our facility, but instead take it to a local MCE Authorized Upgrade Center which stocks and can install this drive, please contact the Upgrade Center you may be interested in for their pricing and availability.

As with any major upgrade to your computer, it is wise to back up any important data from your computer's internal hard drive before having the upgrade performed on the computer.

Pack up your computer. Suitable packaging consists of either the computer's original box and padding or a comparably protective package.
Send the computer to the address below. You may send the unit to MCE by the courier of your choice. We do recommend using a courier service with which you can insure and track the progress of the shipment.
