Chosen Solution

(CPU - 6-core i5; RAM - 8 GB; GPU - radeon pro 560X - 4 GB) Hello! I have an iMac (specs screenshot above), I would like to upgrade it (CPU (i9-9900), RAM (32 or 64 GB)) and notice HDD to SSD. When I started to crash in this process, I had questions:

  1. Do I have this slot for Blade SSD? (My iMac has Fusion Drive 1.03 TB installed)
  2. Can I solder a socket (the photo above, this photo is not mine) for the Blade SSD and will it work?

*Sorry for my English :c

Sadly, its a bit more than a connector there are a few other components needed as well. Time to look for a used Fusion drive’d system and then swap out the CPU with yours if you have the more powerful version and add the blade SSD. Or just get a replacement logic board like: 21.5" iMac Retina 4K Logic Board 3.2GHz i7, SSD, Vega 4GB
