Tough question for me.
09 intel iMac. i installed a 2.5" SSD, and want to install a second 2.5" spin drive for mass storage.
I used a 2.5 to 3.5 bracket to mount my SSD and it has mounts for a second 2.5" drive.
I need to figure out if there's a way to connect this second drive to the iMacs logic board and what cable do i need and where can i get the cable to do this?

I know there's a conversion kit to replace the superdrive with a 2.5" hd...but i want to keep that superdrive if i can, i don't use it very often at all, but if there's no choice...i will sacrifice it if i must.
I'm sure there are details or settings to change when using a 2 drive setup and i am ignorant of those, so if you have any tips or links that may help i thank you all in advance!:confused:
