SSD Blade & 2.5" SSD Upgrade Question
I’m considering upgrading my iMac 19,1
It comes with an APPLE SSD SM0512L
I’m wanting to change that out with something along the lines of the Aura Pro by OWC.
What I’m curious to know is if there is room inside to install a 2.5” SSD drive?
Do I just need a Bracket & Cable ? If So what are the part numbers
Or
Is adding a 2.5” drive not possible because the Logic/Main board is different?
My thought process is to max out the Blade SSD and add something in that open bay if possible, I have several 2.5” drives that would work just fine.
Thanks
Also does anyone know of an external case to use with the removed APPLE SSD SM0512L? If you look on Amazon you get “The Phone Book” of answers with no one stating 100% it will work.
Thanks Very Much S
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

The OWC Case: OWC Envoy Pro Portable, Bus-Powered USB 3.0 Storage Enclosure does not list support for the Apple 2019 SSD's. I don't see anything that explains this other than lack of testing ??
I would give OWC a call if you really want to salvage it. Your other option is selling it to recover some value out of it.

I have sorta wondered if it was the lack of testing, ( Along the same lines as Apple states the 19,1 RAM limit is 64GB but OWC has tested and sells 128GB ).
I saw this and am wondering if it will work:

Thanks again for all your help.

@Stewart Fleming - Sadly no.
Its' designed for the 2280 M.2 NVMe SSD's not the custom Apple units.
