I have a 2017 5k iMac with 2TB fusion drive fused with 128gb nvme ssd. I was wondering is it a simple plug and play replacing the 128gb nvme with a 1 or 2TB genuine apple NVME say pulled from 2017-2019 5k iMac? I also plan to replace the 2TB HDD with a SATA 3 2TB ssd. What else do I need with the SATA ssd to replace the HDD?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Here's a great reference! The Ultimate Guide to Apple’s Proprietary SSDs
You'll want to first figure out what SSD you have before you start.

Thanks again ifixit and Dan. I successfully upgraded my 2017 5k iMac 128gb NVME 2TB fusion drive to 1TB NVME and 2TB SATA3 SSD. I also upgraded my i5 7600k to the i7 7700k (got the cpu used for pretty cheap) and I must say wow what a difference and its blazing fast. Its like a whole new computer again lol. I also can confirm the OWC thermal sensor is not needed as I didn't use one on my WD blue 2TB SATA3 ssd upgrade and the fans don't ramp up. Thanks again
