Late 2009 iMac SSD Optical Bay Upgrade

Paddy@CIRL

Hey guys,

I got an e-mail from Apple yesterday saying that my iMac is affected by the Seagate hard drive issue and needs to be replaced ASAP. I've been in touch with an Apple Authorised Repair Centre who can carry this work out no problem but whom I've also asked if they can remove the optical drive and replace it with an SSD drive. They've told me that they can do the work but that I need to supply the SSD drive and the optical bay conversion kit for my specific iMac. The SSD I can figure out but the latter has me stumped!

TL;DR - Where do I get the correct optical bay conversion kit for my late 2009 27" 2.8GHz i& iMac?

Thanks folks!

Anyone?

I've been looking at this, but not sure if it's compatible (don't trust eBay descriptions )

Would this work?

I haven't used it myself yet but intend to.

I've no idea! Depends what it's going into I suppose?

Sorry, just noticed they don't specify iMacs. Thought they did.
