I posted previously about being unhappy with the performance of my iMac and most people recommended an SSD upgrade. I currently have a 500gb conventional hard drive of which half is being used. So my questions are:
1) which SSD to buy?
2) install internal or external?
3) if external, which case should I put it in and with what interface? I have usb2 and firewire800.
The OWC Electra 480 (almost the capacity of my current drive) is $500 which is out of my league. The next step down is 240gb for $239 which works pricewise but I'd really have to work to keep my startup drive in that small of a space.
Suggestions welcome.
