Although Apple never sold the 2010 27" iMac with the option of having a second HDD or SSD drive, they did provide the framework for inserting one yourself. Using a secondary SATA port on the logic board and tapping into the power supply, it is very simple to add a second drive into this iMac. Use this guide to install a second drive in the 2010 27" iMac, EMC 2390.

Adding a SSD drive for the system was a simple process and has completely transformed my old i3 iMac - definitely worth the money and effort
5 hours an IT support officer. This task is not for the feint hearted. A guide from OWC suggested locating SSD near HDD and this proved easier for me. This guide was accurate and the many images were very helpful. Thanks.
Great guide. I followed it but found after removing the logic board there was no secondary sata port!!! Either way I hooked up the original hard drive to power and temp sensor to stop the fan spin up and used the sata for the SSD so works great. One problem! My sound is now greyed out? Any physical reason for this? When the imac powers on it makes a sound but no sounds in Mac OS. I feel it must be physical not software related.
