These iMacs use ATA DVD drives. Using the SATA drive enclosure linked above is guaranteed to fail. :-(
My EMC 2134 has a SATAII optical drive.
I apologize for the reply after over a year.
No iMac 24 "both 2007 and 2008 can accommodate a SATA Superdrive. This is certain.
It is clear that this installation is made to the adapter referred to as "Related Products": http://www.ifixit.com/Apple-Parts/12-7-m....
So any HDD or SSD you enter this run at high speed to 100 MB / sec of UltraATA100.

Do I assume correctly that this iMac model doesn't have two SATA ports on the logic board, so a dual 2.5" SSD/HDD drive could be installed in the 3.5" bay with an adapter/bracket? This way one could save the optical drive... Anyone?
All I have to say on this thread is: I can’t even begin to understand how this machine is still running as it is. When it was new, circa 2007-2008, a coffee-like beverage was knocked off a shelf above the iMac. It poured all the way through to the bottom. Even though it missed the power supply, it covered everything else INCLUDING the Superdrive. Which still ran but obviously the eye was permanently blind. Between the primary fan and heat dissipation block, there was about one square centimeter of partially obstructed airway. the rest was caked at about a 2-3mm depth. All of the black consolidating foam? Turned to dust at the slightest touch. This was initially going to be a part out on eBay journey. After all, to find a replacement 24” display would be legendarily unlikely. The way this machine was running… another day at the park. She’s clean and I’m keeping her.
AMAZING GUIDE… This was my first iMac teardown :-)
If only I could share the photos and video…
