Hi, Can I replace my optical drive on this mac with an SSD? I’m not sure if the optical drive is SATA or not? I saw some web pages mentioning PATA drives, which would mean my SSD (which I’d want to boot from) would be slower? I’m assuming the process would be similar to upgrading the optical bay to an SSD on a MBP? Many thanks, John
It’s all SATA on your model. Here’s what you’ll need to do this: iMac & Mac mini Dual Drive Enclosure
I have the same issue, and would love an answer - seems lots of Macbook Pros had this issue fixed in a firmware update. Can’t find any good info for iMac tho.
I’ve just found this thread and am curious what you did in your iMac. I am going through the same process with the same computer so would love to hear a first-hand report. Thanks
