    • Retira el posicionador de plástico de la carcasa de la unidad de disco duro del compartimiento óptico presionando uno de los clips a cada lado y levantándolo hacia arriba y sacándolo de la carcasa.

    What’s the switch for on the inside of the caddy? What position should it be in? Mine came switched to the right (towards SATA connector that disk inserts into).

    • Asegúrate de que los conectores del disco duro estén hacia abajo antes de colocarlo en la carcasa.

    • Coloca con cuidado el disco duro en la ranura para discos duros de la carcasa.

    • Mientras sostienes firmemente la carcasa en su lugar con una mano, usa la otra mano para presionar el disco duro en los conectores de la carcasa.

    • Una vez que el disco duro esté ajustado, vuelve a insertar el posicionador de plástico mientras sujetas el disco duro contra la parte inferior de la carcasa.

    • Vuelve a conectar cualquier cable que hayas quitado de la unidad óptica original en la carcasa del compartimiento óptico.

    Why no mention of attaching the new hard drive to the Optical Drive Enclosure using the enclosed phillips screws?

    Once you have securely inserted the new hard drive into the Optical Drive Enclosure and replaced the plastic positioner you should attach the drive to the enclosure using two of the provided phillips screws. Two holes on the underside of the enclosure should align with two attachment holes on the underside of the drive.

    I suspect that the plastic positioner will secure the drive well enough (for this style of adapter). As I mentioned in earlier comment, this should mean you can replace / upgrade the SATA drive later without needing to remove the adapter, skipping many steps.

    Do you need a sata cable to connect the new drive to the board or does it connect via the optical drive cable that we disconnected earlier?

    Erik Sawaya -

    It does connect to the optical drive cable but if you don't use the optical bay enclosure you'll need a 13 pins to 22 pins sata adaptor (and some tape!)

    The sata cable for the optical drive has 6 + 7 pins while ssd and hhd have 15 + 7 pins

    Can someone please explain why you need to remove the black plastic faceplate  from the optical bay enclosure. It is designed to receive the standard SSD. What is gained from removing a part of it?

    Thank you! This guy has made upgrading the mid 2010 iMac I inherited from my mom MUCH easier and saved me a lot of time, trial, and error.

    My Penrynn Super Drive has PATA connector, and now is a fossil grade rarity :-(

    IMI Comp -

    I'm a little confused. Do I need the enclosure from ifixit or am I removing the optical drive and installing an ssd in the preexisting op drive enclosure? If using the already existing enclosure what type of ssd do I need as for Sata connectors?

Great guide, however I think you overestimated the difficulty of it. The biggest challenge is not stripping any screws and being sure to have all sizes that you may possibly need including some that might not be standard because stripping screws is very possible. Otherwise, nice job
