Hello I want to put SSD blade in my iMAC 27 , maybe someone of you know where to find the ssd blade finishing dig up the entire Internet , but do not understand , really that ssd . Suitable for MacBook Pro and MacBook in 2013 and also 2012? I planned put 512GB max 256GB Help me !! 🙂
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10), instal ssd blade
Installing a SSD into any iMac is not for amateurs and installing one in a 2012 or 2013 iMac is extremely difficult. I strongly recommend taking the machine to an AASP who can do this for you. If you insist on trying to do it yourself then you can find videos on Youtube that describe the process.
MacBook Air ,macbook pro retina..Maybe somebody of you know where I could buy a ssd blade for my mac ? I tried ebay , but confused that here for ? I work with PS6 , FNC , and now still want to 3DMax projects work , so I need to speed
I have friends who repairs the PC , so they can help , but the MacBook Pro I changed the ssd .. Only problem is that they shake their heads and say , see the web pages
The SSD blade drive is a very thin SSD that looks a lot like a memory module. It connects to a PCie slot instead of an HD sata port.
According to EveryMacs overview:
For storage upgrades, if the 21.5-Inch "Late 2012" iMac models were not configured with an SSD or a "Fusion Drive" at the time of purchase, there is no way to add a PCIe-based "blade" SSD later as the needed connector is not present. However, the 27-Inch "Late 2012" and all "Late 2013" iMac models do have this connector on the motherboard even without a pre-installed SSD, so it is possible to add a PCIe-based "blade" SSD after the purchase of the system.
One of these should work:
With that said you will have to completely disassemble the iMac to install an SSD blade in it. That means not only removing screws, but also glue, and other securing mechanisms, not easily removed.

Contact an AASP, no one else. They can help you choose an SSD and can install it for you.

I live in Lithuania.The problem is that we have only a few repair service, representing the apple .. I'm not afraid of repair and will be able to personally myself 🙂
I just need to figure out who really fit the ssd , because I will be more difficult to return 🙂
Not sure what you mean by "the suit".
The models shown in the New Egg page should all work in the iMac. Just choose a size. You will have to find a local Lithuanian tech dealer to procure the ssd though. Or through ebay. Just make sure you match the ID numbers.
I.e looking for this specific SSD in ebay should yield the correct results: SAMSUNG XP941 Series MZHPU512HCGL-00000 M.2 512GB PCIe
Or for this if you want the smaller size: Plextor M6e PX-G256M6e M.2 2280 256GB PCI-Express
Not sure why they specify that. Everything I can find says it should work. You would need to ask the seller why they say its not compatible, or make sure you can return it in case it really does not work.
The drive has the form factor and interface required. Not sure what else would be needed for compatibility.
Thanks , I try to check 🙂 Many many thanks
