Can I add Flash Storage to the installed base Flash of 256GB?

I'm buying an iMac Intel 27" Retina 5K Display and would like to install aftermarket Flash storage up to 1TB or higher.

1) Is aftermarket Flash storage available which will fit into the iMac?

2) If so, can I install the Flash storage on my IMac Retina without destroying the case or inner workings?

3) If so where can I get this Flash storage and the instructions on how to modify the iMac?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Probably not - you can upgrade the SATA drives (HD and SSD) but not the proprietary blade drive slot... no one at this time has a source.

That could change in the future - it took two years for 3rd party drives to become available for early release Retina machines). Hence, the hedge on a solid answer.
