I want to replace my SSD with the HDD inside my iMac and then move the HDD to the optical drive.
Is this how it is recommended? Some of the guides mentioned the possibility of bottlenecking the speeds if the ssd is in the optical port.
Also, what about fans and cooling? Will the mac be able to handle it? I bought one of the ifixit kits that has a sataIII cable. Does this matter?
Thanks

Yes, this system has a spare SATA connection.
You need to leave the HD in its current location, then using the dual drive kit from IFIXIT for this system add the needed wire harness to add in either a second HD or a SSD.
In any case the optical drive is not disabled.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
