Hi,
The motherboard of my system did not come with the SSD connector, it is possible to solder the connector and add SSD?
Will it would work
Is this a good question?

Spanish: Tristemente Apple no pobló la placa lógica en algunos modelos con todas las partes. Hay más componentes que el conector, hay otros componentes necesarios para agregar en el conector de la cuchilla SSD PCIe.
Si está buscando actualizar su sistema a un SSD, puede ir con un SSD de 2.5 "que reemplace su HD. Esta es la guía de IFIXIT que debe seguir: iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2805 Hard Drive Replacement

i will doit!!!!
I am documenting what is needed to enable the PCIe port. I have a workshop prepared to do it and until now I have not had the need.
I think this is possible since I have exchanged SMC from A1398 with PCIe to other A1398s without PCIe and vice versa. So it makes me think that it would just be soldering the missing components. In the case of those that received an SMC from an A1398 without a soldered PCIe port, the equipment that received it continued to operate its "Fusion Drive" without problems.
If you like to support this project you can support by sharing information at a1398pciemod@iprorepair.shop
1.High resolution photos of your motherboard and the EMC whether or not they have a PCIE port (this will help me make a list of the versions of A1398 and their respective EMC with and without PCIe)
2. Include the 820-xxxxx on the motherboard.
3. If you have a motherboard with a damaged PCIe port, I can buy it at a fair price to continue the investigation. As long as you publish it on Ebay and they can accept shipments to Mexico. :)
