OWC has not come out with an SSD blade for this machine as of yet. The adapters for the mSATA blades have proven to be unreliable. There are memory upgrades available: https://eshop.macsales.com/upgrades/imac…
So far the HDD only 21.5" model is missing the PCIe support hardware. We don’t have any reports on the 27" model yet. I would buy the PCIe SSD only model and buy the largest you can afford. Then it you must add in the HDD. Frankly, you may want to wait on adding the HDD and just use an external USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (RAID being the best). It will be a good year or two before anyone offers a SSD upgrade option for this new system.
Dear jprokos, do you mean that you have an iMac 2013 and you have successfully installed a PCIe SSD using an adaptor? I have a late 2013 21.5” iMac (A1418) and I have been roaming the internet for days trying to find out:
- whether or not my model has an extra slot?
- which PCIe SSD would be compatible?
- If there is an adaptor which would do the trick?
