We have not personally installed an SSD on this particular model, but it does work. Also, this question has been covered [link|http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/32972/Can+you+install+ssd+hard+drive+into+this+machine|many] [link|http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/52079/Replacing+sata+hard+drive+with+ssd|times] on Answers. Simply install the SSD into your adapter and install it into the iMac. The most critical part is transferring your thermal sensor over to the SSD. The thermal sensor can be seen in the guide [guide|1008|here|stepid=5328]. Before reassembling your machine, be sure that the thermal sensor will remained adhered to the body of your SSD (you can always add strips of tape over it to hold it on) and you should be fine.
