The new iMac has a second drive bay, allowing a user on Apple's website to choose to add a secondary, SSD based drive. Alternatively, they can (not very easily) add a drive to the computer themselves at a later time. My question is, does anyone know if this secondary drive bay is limited to SSD drives, or can you throw in a 2.5" laptop drive in its place?
Question about
Can you put normal 2.5" drives into the "SSD drive bay?
You can get whatever 2.5" Laptop drive you want into the spot SSD or spinning disk. But from the looks of what iFixit showed it may be worth it to preorder the drive in there since you need a couple brackets that do not ship without the 2nd drive installed.
I used to take apart my 24" all the time to swap drives on it and it is not by any means a fun experience. I eventually just went to a Mac Pro to save myself the hassle.
