Hi all,
I would like to add another ssd in my iMac 27 2013 model. my question is, if there are already the needed adapter/bay, cable inside, as in the fusion model?
I would like to add a 500gb or 1tb samsung evo ssd. Is this possible?
Thank you all for your help

Yes, you can do this on an EMC 2639 body iMac ~14,2. I just did it.
As the previous poster explained, you need to follow this guide: Sostituzione hard drive iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639
You need these parts:

I was unable to source the hard drive cage so I used some really strong 3M double sided tape. Now my iMac has 1.5 TB of flash storage :)

Here's the IFIXIT guide you'll need to follow: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 Hard Drive Replacement.
In your case the HD is missing! And yes, the mounting hardware & cable assembly is as well.
The next issue you'll face is needing an adapter frame to hold your new 2.5" SSD to fix into the 3.5" mounts of the expected HD. (unless you get a 3.5" version).
This is not an easy job.

Thank you, for taking the time to answer my question. I have become very familiar with disassembly. My problem now is where to find the hardware and cable to add the additional drive, 3.5" HDD or smaller SSD.
OMG! The question are “ADD A SECOND DRIVE” not REPLACE the drive. in late 2013 14,2 iMac model are NOT POSIBLE add a second drive to have an SSD for OS and the default drive for files. Two drives, the default HDD and a second SSD drive. Not posible.
