two 2.5" drives INSTEAD of one 3.5" HD (apple fusion drive)

Hi Guys

Maybe I´m being stupid here so I thought you could help me out:

I want to get more mileage out of my iMac 21" 2010 and when I heard about fusion drive ( http://www.anandtech.com/show/6406/under... ) it hit me:

Pull the 500GB 3,5" HD and swap it for a 2*2.5"to 3.5" adapter tray (like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as... ) and install a 1TB 2.5 HD plus a 128GB or 256GB SSD in its place.

Obviously I´d need a SATA Y-cable to connect two drives to the motherboard (or is there a spare SATA connector?)

Anybody tried this before?

Any practical theoretical roadblocks?

Would love to get your input.

cheers

Matt

Hi matt,

The bad news is there is no such thing as a SATA splitter data cable—the interface doesn't support stringing multiple drives on a single channel.

The qualified good news is that there is a second SATA port on your logic board, but it's being used for the optical drive.

The only way to get a second drive in there will be to replace the optical drive, like in our dual hard drive kit guide.

Hope this helps, good luck fixing.
