Multiple drive connections
I want a HDD, a SSD and a ODD on the iMac EMC 2428, is that possible? Where is the spare connector?
Is this a good question?

You can add a drive into the 27" model, OWC does this service. The 21.5" has no room inside. Here's how to add eSATA ports: http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_...

OWC has now added upgrade options for the 21.5": http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/turnkey/i...
Here's a guide for installing it: http://blog.chargedpc.com/2011/05/2011-i...
This in fact' 'is'' possible.
There are 3 SATA Data Connections on the motherboard. See image here.
There are also 3 Distinct Power connections on the motherboard shown in the image.
In order to retrofit a SSD into the new 2011 21.5" iMacs, You'll need the following parts:
539-1295 (SSD DATA)
539-1296 (SSD POWER)
And the brackets, which part numbers have not been identified for yet.
See image here for an idea of the fit.
