[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1153508, member: 46727"] I do not recommend adding a second internal hard drive to your new iMac. The reasons are as follows: 1. It may void your warranty. 2. Gaining access to the inside of your new iMac is a moderately difficult task as the entire front panel display assembly must first be removed. See the details at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url]. 3. You may damage delicate internal components. See reason 1. We have already gone through one thread here where that is exactly what happened when the owner attempted to add a SSD. My advice is to purchase a nice large fast external hard drive such as the "[URL="http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go"]Mercury on the go[/URL]" series from OWC. These drives are very fast and have firewire capability. [/QUOTE]
