I want to have 2 storage devices, in other words.
Is this a good question?

Here’s the guide for installing an SSD 2.5” drive.
Installing iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2428 Dual Drive Kit
You can then use the optical bay for an additional standard drive.

Hi David
Technically it is possible, one way is to sacrifice your optical drive and get a optical drive to sata bracket converter to fit your sata drive.

Do keep in mind the optical drives SATA port is slower! SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) Vs SATA III (6.0 Gb/s)
Using the dual drive kit is better.
