    First post here... Thanks for reading. I’m a fan of SSDs and have been using them in my (now ancient) iMacs. I am ready to pony up for a new 2019 iMac, but am not wanting to shell out what they ask for SSDs inside. I’m not afraid to install SSDs inside the machine, but figure I can wait until...

    Ultimate Quad - 30" ACD, SSD

    So I'm here to show off. Having upgraded my G5 Quad to 16GB RAM and an Nvidia Quadro FX 4500, it was only matter of time before it got the SSD treatment. It had to be one that doesn't need TRIM, which poor old Leopard lacks. OWC offer a number of vintage compatible SSD's tailor made for old...

    Hi there. So I have a Mid-2017 27-inch iMac, which has two Thunderbolt USB-C ports. I have two external Full HD monitors. Those monitors have HDMI or VGA input (they're very cheap), so I have two USB-C to HDMI cables, one for each monitor, plugged in each of the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports. Now I...

    2014 Mini – HDD replacement worth it?

    I've been putting up with my 2014 Mini (7,1) as it's gotten really slow, lots of beachballs on even basic tasks. I just looked at the teardown to get to the hard drive and it looks intense – basically I need to gut the whole machine just to get to it. I have a 2TB SSD and I'm sure it will run...

    How do I use a SSD as boot drive only?

    I bought a 2010 Mac Pro to replace my dying 2006 Mac Pro. However, I've never considered using a drive exclusively as the boot drive, and all the other drives as storage. Since I already have many TBs of HDD storage, and my new Mac includes a SSD, it's a no-brainer. But how do I do it?
