OWC says getting your own SSD into the new iMacs is hard

Other world computing (or OWC) has got their hands on a brand new iMac, and tore it down. Usually this is iFixits job but OWC was interested in seeing how hard it would be to install your own SSD as a second drive. Like you would expect, its hard.

The bad news is that, unless your Mid 2010 iMac originally came with an Apple SSD, there’s no graceful way to install an OWC one. The appropriate mounting bracket and connector cables are nowhere to be found on the non-SSD models.
This unfortunate development continues Apple’s proclivity toward making the iMac’s inner workings less “accessible” than they could (or some may say “should”) be.

iMacs have always been hard to work on, so there really isn’t any real surprise here. The real surprise though, is that Apple does not include any cables for the second drive to be put in.
