"The new 27-inch iMac", says Macworld, "marks a first for Apple’s popular all-in-one desktop computer — it can host a second drive." There are rules, of course. Apple dictates that one of the drives must be a solid state device but, according to Macworld, it is not possible to order an iMac with two SSDs or two hard drives. Macworld outlines the various possible configurations.

OWC decided to dismantle a new iMac to check out the arrangement of the drive locations, particularly where the SSD option is installed. The red box in the photo below indicates the location of the SSD bracket. (Photo courtesy of OWC.)
