Mid 2011 iMac 2.7 core i5 external options
#7
As long as you have enough RAM installed (8GB?) so it doesn't need to spool memory to the disk, even USB2 will do fine with an SSD. FW800 would be better but a bus power FW800-SATA cable is exceedingly rare.

I used to have 2 of them but lost track of one years ago and the second... It's around here somewhere and IIRC, it topped out at ~68MB/sec Reads and 55MB/sec Writes, so not even 80/80 which FW800 can do with the right chipset.
