Hi everybody,
I've experiencing a problem that everybody who have a Late2009 iMac well know.
I want to put another HDD inside my computer to have one SSD and one HDD but i also want to keep my ODD. And I don't have the third SATA port. If search a lot on the forums but the only solutions I've found are 2HDD/no ODD. On OWC (macsales.com), they are talking about putting a third SSD instead of SD card reader. But nobody's talking about...
The SD card reader seems to be an USB device. So I wondering if it is possible to plug the ODD via a SATA2USB converter to the SD plug or something like that.
Does someone have already tried this kind of stuff?
Do you think it is possible to convert by a simple homemade cable the SD card Reader connector to a more common connector like USB or something else?
I've take the SD reader out the Mac and I can see 6 pin on the connector (I know USB is 4)
