I bought the matching drive (Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB) for my Late 2009 iMac and ''still'' messed up the little wiring that keeps the fan from spinning out of control.
Fortunately, Someone pointed me to software fan controls:
* This one is free: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/47386/macs-fan-control
* and this one (which I bought and use) is $30: http://hddfancontrol.com/
If I could go back in time I would definitely have spent the money on an SSD and let software sort it out.
