Re: Modify iMac
Here's the link to that page:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/iMac_2010_27 Keep in mind that in the Imacs with 2 hard drives, one of them must be an SSD drive, which is nice, but more expensive. Also, if you have the new 2011 version that just came out, there are issues with trying to add hard drives. The 2010 ones are okay. If you have a 2010 one, you might think about having them add the E-Sata port rather than the second hard drive if you find the SSD's are too expensive. If you have the 2011 one, you may just leave it alone, as the thunderbolt ports may provide ways for other solutions pretty soon. |

Re: Modify iMac
Thanx for the replies!
NST7, the point about the thunderbolt connection is a valid one. I hope the peripherals become available soon.

Just an FYI for anyone considering doing this themselves, The 2010 models do not include a mounting bracket for the second drive unless they are ordered from apple with an SSD installed. The workaround is double sided tape, putting the SSD in an optical bay caddy and removing your optical drive, or adding an ESATA port. The 2010 models actually have 3 SATA ports, so you could theoretically have [1 HDD + 2 SSDs] or [1 HDD + 1 SSD and 1 eSATA port] if you remove the optical drive. The late 2009 model (very first 27" imacs) do not have the extra SATA port, so you'd need to remove the optical drive and replace it with either an SSD or hack in an eSATA port. |

I don't understand why this is such a big deal ? Any apple service store with be able to replace a failed disk. |
