it possible , need 2.5" 3.5" mounting bracket. purchased drive below , mounting bracket below. both working fine in 2008 imac (2211) 24". remember reading using heavy duty velcro on ssd , mounting inside imac without 3.5" mount casing inside. since ssd has no moving parts, should work fine , runs cooler standard hard drive.
