Hi all, I would like to add another ssd in my iMac 27 2013 model. my question is, if there are already the needed adapter/bay, cable inside, as in the fusion model? I would like to add a 500gb or 1tb samsung evo ssd. Is this possible? Thank you all for your help
Yes, you can do this on an EMC 2639 body iMac ~14,2. I just did it. As the previous poster explained, you need to follow this guide: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 Hard Drive Replacement You need these parts: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/Intel-iMac… (this was very difficult to source) [linked product missing or disabled: IF174-005-1] I was unable to source the hard drive cage so I used some really strong 3M double sided tape. Now my iMac has 1.5 TB of flash storage :)
Here’s the IFIXIT guide you’ll need to follow: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 Hard Drive Replacement. In your case the HD is missing! And yes, the mounting hardware & cable assembly is as well. The next issue you’ll face is needing an adapter frame to hold your new 2.5" SSD to fix into the 3.5" mounts of the expected HD. (unless you get a 3.5" version). This is not an easy job.
