last night I had a crazy idea!
would it be possible to replace optical drive (PATA)
with an SSD drive?
the only problem is the PATA connection instead of SATA, I don't know if there is an adapter or PATA SSDs
edit: I found this:

Here's what you need to put in a SATA hard drive in your PATA optical bay slot: crwdns2937315:0IF107-078crwdne2937315:0

from the notes on the link: This enclosure does not work with ATA drives or hard drives thicker than 9.5 mm.
plus: Compatibility >> MacBooks
Try this one: crwdns2937315:0IF107-079crwdne2937315:0
again on the notes: This enclosure does not work with ATA drives or drives taller than 9.5mm.
which I don't understand why! PATA drives have different sizes?
what you think? can I use this:

ok finally I can answer to my own question!
this a Caddy for this type of iMac. It converts Sata (internal) to Pata (external) you can use any data connection 2,5" drive (ssd or hdd).
here is the site selling it:
