A commenter says the connectors are different than those for MBPs. See Step 57, Īs for getting the newer flash storage blades, I'd rather go to a known retailer like OWC/MacSales than buying off Amazon where you never know for sure what you're getting, storage At this point they aren't offering any of the blade type storage for the iMac.

CLONE MAC HDD TO SSD HIGH SIERRA PRO
