I have the same iMac 27" i7 mid-2011 and it is new to me, refurbished, with an extended 2 yr. warranty.
When purchased, according to the specs only had a 1 tb HDD.
The NICE surprise is it also shows a 256gb Apple SSD TS256C installed (along with 8gb < 16 gb RAM and 1gb <2gb RAM on the video card - all surprise upgrades from Mac of all Trades!
ISSUE IS:
On both hard drives it shows
Link Speed = 6 Gigabit
Negotiated Link Speed = 3 gigabit
NOW... could this be reconfigured through a software solution, to run as fast as it should??
Again-
On both hard drives it shows:
Link Speed = 6 Gigabit
HOWEVER it shows a
Negotiated Link Speed = 3 gigabit
...So clearly if two out of the three cables are supplying 6 GP/S
And the link speed reads an initial 6 GP/S on both HDD and SSD....
It would appear that they each have the proper port for that part of the configuration ( if one of them was in the optical Port, a starting link speed of 3GP/S, not 6, would show as the link speed)
- then there must be a different answer (possibly SOFTWARE configuration answer)?

Won't you get a lot slower bus speeds though, due to using USB over SATA?

I just went ahead and put the SSD in with an ICY DOCK 2.5" to 3.5" HDD adapter. I just left the thermal sensor unplugged, and it works fine—but my computer thinks that the HDD is 128 degrees Celsius... which may or may not be a problem. http://grab.by/4fcM

I used this as the 2.5" to 3.5" converter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...
