What do I need to buy to add a 3.5 HDD

Hello,

I own an iMac 27" 2011 that I bought with a single 256 Gb SSD.

I opened the iMac and noticed that the SSD is actually located under the optical drive and that there is a large empty space in the middle (where the 3.5 HDD should reside).

So, excepting a 3.5 drive, what would I need to buy (and from whom ) to be able to add a 3.5 HDD in that empty room ? (Brackets, power and data SATA cables, heat sensor cable ?)

Thank you for your reply.

Hi Alfie,

Thank you for your answer but this is not what I asked.

I do not need a guide and already bought the Western Digital drive.

Now I need to know where I can buy the missing parts for mounting the drive (bracket, power and SATA cables).
