Hi, just a quick question I have Does the Late-2015 iMac 27” (SATA model and not the fusion drive model) still come with the blade drive socket to plug in PCIe/nvme drives? I have done ton’s of upgrades to the fusion drive models installing NVME drives but just wondering if Apple also supplied the standard SATA models 27” iMacs with the socket/port on the logic boards or only on the fusion/SSD drive models? Thanks kindly :)
The SATA cable header is present on all of the newer ‘21.5” & 27” Thin Series’ systems. Only the the PCIe/NVMe connecter and support components are missing on some of the 21.5” models, surprisingly it is present on all of the 27” models. Here’s the needed cable iMac Intel 27" 5K (Late 2014-Mid 2015) Hard Drive Cable If you have thin fingers and dexterous you might be able to plug the cable in without pulling the logic board. Other wise you’ll need to pull it forward
