Question Mid 2010 iMac - SSD fitting (someone to do it for me)

[RussWWFC]

Hi. I'm looking for a company to fit an SSD to my mid 2010 27" iMac as I am not comfortable doing it myself. I'd want it to replace the optical drive and I'd be looking at either 256GB or 512GB depending on pricing

Can anyone offer any recommendations - I'd prefer somewhere in the South East as I'd want to drop and pick it up myself, but I am willing to travel if I can save money. Thanks

Just used them myself to fit a 250GB SSD to my 2012 Mac Mini alongside the OEM 1TB hard drive

They cloned it, did the necessary work and reinstalled and it's all managed on a Fusion Drive now...

Couldn't recommend them high enough and super quick at it too!

Thanks, I did see them, was just waiting to see if there were any alternatives (or feedback, so thanks for that)

i could do it for you?? im in Swindon, .i can get the optical drive replaced with an optibay(like mine), you might need the cable for the heat sensor, not sure if the 2010 imacs use it, if not even easier,.
also i can run it as a fusion set up, .
Would probably take max 2 hours?
Ive done mine (2011) a few times ive taken it apart, and installed SSD and HDD, RAM etc...
