Apple used a specific cable to connect hard drives in new iMacs for a year. It not only carries power and data but also the specific data on thermal sensor using a special firmware in the harddrive. Trouble is, you can't plug a new drive like this or it'll think the iMac is overheating (as the sensor won't answer the system will think it has a heat issue)
Solutions I've seen use special cables to trick the system.
I know it's an issue if you use the hard drive location/cable. I don't know for the DVD location, I have not seen something about it.
I may add, OWC are serious people, if they tell you it's possible on your specific mac model, it is.
And I've used their services even if I'm in Europe. Serious persons, really.
