Hi,
i want to install a new ssd into my 27 inch mid 2011 imac, but can't find anyone to do it. Anyone have any suggestions on where to have it done in toronto?
Do you want to replace the internal hard drive, or install the SSD in addition to the internal hard drive?
The proprietary mounting hardware and SATA cable for the SSD cavity are not present on your (non-SSD) iMac, so any installation will have to be a lash-up with improvised parts.
Perhaps an AASP can chime in and say whether Apple is making the official parts available as service parts.

I recommend removing the optical drive and installing an SSD in it's place!
There are videos online on how to do it!
You can also ask some of the advertisers here for a quote!
I did it to mine and have no regrets.
Good luck.
I considered the 2nd drive option but decided against when I learned you need to remove the motherboard and basically rebuild the complete interior to accomplish that!
