Which blade SSD to build a fusion drive

[paddy-black]

Just wondering which blade SSD is the best for build a Fusion Drive by myself in my late 2012 iMac?

For a blade SSD you would have to buy a OWC rMBP blade SSD i do believe!
I could be wrong! 😱

I think you're right. The iMac uses the same mSATA blades as the retina MacBook Pros and the MacBook Airs, but I think you can't just use any off-the-shelf SSD, hence why OWC's kit is probably your best, if not only, bet.

you think this will fit OWCSSDAP12R240? any idea where i can get the originally blade from?

If standard 128gb SSD isn't enough for you, or you don't even have FD currently, I'd suggest to buy a 256GB Samsung SSD pulled from rMBP on eBay. It's about 300USD and is the best price/performance option IMO.
