That Apple blade on the back of your logic board is the fastest data mover you will ever get on this machine. If it is a 500 GB that’s fantastic.
Now, please clarify your exact storage configuration. You have the blade. Is there also a hard drive?
This is how your machine shipped:
Standard Storage:2 TB (Fusion)Std. Storage Speed:N/A
Details:This model has a 2 TB "Fusion" Drive, which combines a 128 GB SSD and a 2 TB hard drive. It has a Serial ATA (6 Gb/s) connector for a 2.5" hard drive and a PCIe connector for the SSD.
At the time of purchase, Apple also offered a 3 TB "Fusion" Drive (128 GB SSD and 3 TB hard drive) for an extra US$100 or a 512 GB, 1 TB, or 2 TB SSD for an extra US$200, US$600, and US$1400, respectively.
Standard RAM:8 GBMaximum RAM:64 GB*
Details:*By default, 8 GB of RAM is installed as two 4 GB memory modules (and two slots are unoccupied). Apple offered this model custom configured with 16 GB, 32 GB, or 64 GB for an extra US$200, US$600, or US$1400, respectively. However, upgrading the RAM yourself is quick and easy.
Bed time, I will look at this in the morning.

iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display Blade SSD Replacement
i ordered the sata data/power cable for my model imac as well. but definitely want to get some advice on this before doing it. i forgot i got my imac with the ssd blade, i thought it was just going to be a simple hard drive swap.

Your blade SSD is using a PCIe/NVMe connection which is not compatable with your SATA SSD drive you bought. I would leave the blade SSD alone and make it your boot drive and use your 2.5" SSD as your data drive. You want to only have your OS & apps on the blade SSD, leave at least 1/4 of the drive free.
