Can I add a ssd hard drive when it seems to have never had a hd?
To begin, I’m mechanical but not incredibly computer-savvy.
I have an i5 late 2012 emc2544 21.5” iMac. It has been running fine but I have run out of room. It said it has a 64gb hard drive.
I bought a 1tb ssd upgrade kit from ifixit and opened it up tonight. I was surprised to see no drive in the slot. I’m unfamiliar with all of the terms used and just trying to figure out if I can add this drive to my system as an internal hard drive or if I have to put it into an external case and just use it like that.
I’ve seen things that make me think I can get cables and add it but I’m just not sure.
Update (02/02/2023)
There is no hard drive in the little compartment.
I hope this picture comes through
Is dit een goede vraag?
