PCIe (Blade) SSDshigher performance
Before you buy: this drive fits the iMac’s internal PCIe (blade) flash slot, which sits under the logic board. Fitting it means fully opening the iMac and partially removing the logic board to reach the slot — plan for extra time and some hands-on experience. Prefer not to? Our certified technicians can fit it for you.
