Can I replace my 1TB HDD to 256 SSD (2.5")?

I've heard someone said 27" iMac late 2012 motherboard is not support to install SSD. Is it true?

I've read ifixit.com to replace a SSD, but it is not 2.5" SSD. Can I swap out my 1TB and replace a SSD instead?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

All standard SSD's are 2.5" form factor. The one in the guide is a special Apple drive that you would have a very hard time getting.

You can still do this, by replacing the existing 3.5" drive with the 2.5" SSD. All you need it an adapter kit. I'm not sure if iFixit sells them, but I know OWC does.

There are other ones out there, but be careful, not all of them are designed to work with the iMac's mounting system.
