As described and shown in "12.7 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" the optical drive of my iMac is not fitted with a unit convertor as seen in the picture. The mala SATA connector is directly fitted into the female optical drive connector. Replacing the optical drive by the SSD frame with a PATA connector is not possible.
How to get the unit convertor from PATA to SATA?
Is this a good question?

You will need to buy the adapter it is not supplied with the system.
Here is the adapter for the optical drive: 12.7 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure. It allows you to install either a HD or SSD which is a 2.5" (laptop) SATA unit.
Is that what you are looking for?
Or, are you trying to install a different optical drive unit which is SATA based? Which won't work here as this systems interface is PATA not SATA.
