new 27" imac w/ SSD. ok to add a second HDD?


i'm sure has been discussed before, can't find exact answer i'm looking for. bought new 27" imac i7 3.4 ghz ssd installed.

have 2tb wd drive using in other 24" 2007 imac want move on new system. can tell me:

a) there second drive bay in new system add other sata hdd?
b) there restrictions adding secondary drive?
c) void warranty (assuming install correctly , don't break anything)

once again, have ssd drive main drive installed apple. looking install secondary sata drive additional storage.
 

hard drives complete pain in butt take in , out of new imac. if feel comfortable suction cupping imac's display panel off , taking apart go ahead. on top of this, apple puts firmware on imac drives, making impossible use drives aren't directly them. there workarounds, it's more trouble it's worth. i'd recommend hook other hard drive external casing , use external. there place secondary hard drive, again... it's no easy task.
