Chosen Solution
Hey guys, I want to install SSD to my iMac (to have both PCIe SDD and 1TB SATA HDD), and also add some RAM to make it work faster. But i am confused cuz I can’t find any answers on the internet. Please help me to solve the problem. Will these products work with my computer? Computer: iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013) Model Identifier: Mac14,1 PCIe SSD: Transcend JetDrive™ 720 or Transcend JetDrive™ 725, I am not sure which one to choose. Are they the same? They work in MacBook Pro Retina and I thought may be it will fit and work on my iMac. Am I right? Here is the link to see the SSD specs. If this two won’t fit so which one to choose? There are also other JetDrives. RAM: I am sure about this OWC RAM, but please take a look.
Did you speak with Transcend? I should point out opening this model is a bear to open! And it is even harder to add either RAM or install/replace the SSD as the complete logic board needs to be removed for either! Unless you have opened up a few of these ‘Thin Series’ iMac’s before I would recommend not attempting this. I’m sure you can buy a system with the added memory and with a SSD already installed (with or without a HD installed) that will be cheaper in the long haul after selling your system.
