\"\"OWC\u2019s Mid 2010 27″ iMac Turnkey Upgrade Program<\/a> has been incredibly popular since we announced it back in August<\/a>. After all, once you\u2019ve upgraded your hard drive to an award-winning OWC Mercury Extreme SSD and have added an eSATA port for fast access <\/strong>to your external drives, you\u2019ve got the most hot-rodded iMac out there, right?<\/p>\n

Well… almost…<\/p>\n

You see, we just made our upgrade program even better<\/strong>. Before, in order to get a third internal drive, you had to sacrifice your internal optical drive. Now, you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n

Now, you can keep your optical drive while still running three OWC SSDs <\/strong>for high capacity and insanely fast file access and transfer. Just how big and fast is that? How does a whopping 1.44TB of SSD storage accessible at\u00a0nearly 800 MB\/s<\/a> sound?<\/p>\n

Yeah, we thought so.<\/p>\n

So, how did we manage to get an extra SATA connection inside the iMac? Unfortunately, it involves disabling the built-in, but infrequently used SD memory card reader. Don\u2019t worry, though; we still <\/em>have you covered. If you choose the option to replace the SD reader with another ultra-fast OWC SSD, we will include our 68-in-One Media Card Reader<\/a> at no extra cost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, not only will you have another fast OWC SSD installed, you\u2019ll be able to access the memory cards of all kinds of devices<\/em>, not just the ones that use SD cards, via a USB 2.0 port at the same speed as the built-in reader.<\/p>\n

In other words, now you can have your cake and eat it too!<\/p>\n
