• Hi,
    I asked up thread about replacing the harddrive in my imac with a SSD.
    I got a price from a shop today to do it but they gave two options.
    First is to replace the existing drive with SSD
    Second is to keep the drive but remove the DVD drive and put the SSD there. (my DVD drive doesn't even work so not worried about keeping it).

    Is one of these options preferable?
    It's my wife's computer that she uses for work (photoshop stuff) She says it's alays slow. So if one option is more likely to speed it up, then that's preferable.

  • Id go for option two.

    Just have the SSD for boot and applications and then have the other hard drive for storage and things like that.

  • When I swapped my spinning hdd for an ssd in my macbook pro, I moved the spinning hdd to where the disc drive was. I think the bus speeds are slower to the disk drive, so it makes more sense to use the spinning disk there. This is all from memory though so prob worth a google
