I can confirm that swapping the apple SSD for some other SSD is possible in the late 2012 iMac. They have a series of SSDs (Aura 6G) compatible with the late 2012 model of the 27" iMac: The only other supplier of compatible SSDs than Apple that I know of is OWC (Macsales).
Such an adapter would need to include an amount of electronics, as it is a completely different interface - i.e. I have seen no adapters on the market that will allow you to connect an ordinary SATA drive to the proprietary connector. The slot is proprietary, and it is not an M.2 or mSATA slot. I used Crucial Memory and your iMac can get up to 32GB of RAM While you are doing all these upgrades, I would upgrade the memory as well. I've actually answered this question on another thread: 27 imac Late 2012 HDD Failure Replace the SSD (you will need a 3.5" to 2.5" HDD adapter.
You then create a fusion drive using CoreStorage and you will end up with an SSD with 1.13 TB of total storage. Technically, you could upgrade the PCIe blade SSD drive, but after some research, I found it wasn't really economical.Īll you need is a standard SSD to replace that HDD.
There is an PCIe SSD, probably about 128GB that attached to the logic board, then there's a 3.5" 1TB HDD. The fusion drive is a misnomer - it's actually two drives. I have an iMac 27 Late 2012 and I upgraded my SSD.
