can an mid 2015 27"iMac 5K with a 1 TB hard drive be upgraded with a an SSD drive? If yes, anyone have a link for instructions on how todo it or a place that does?
Yes, check ifixit. If you have not purchased the iMac yet, purchase it with the apple SSD. They have two slots for drives, one is the standard SATA slot and the secondary is proprietary and is designed with double the IO lanes for it which allows the drive to achieve much higher speeds than what you can with a retail drive. That being said, if you can find a retail drive that is compatible with Apple's port, then go that route. It's easier to upgrade it using the regular SATA port, though.
after watching some youtube videos, I'm thinking running OS X off an external SSD might be the best idea,. that way i don't have to mess around prying the thing open
Also, OWC has instructional videos on how to swap the hard drives yourself. If this operation seems to be beyond your comfort level, you can take it to an Apple store or independent dealer.can an mid 2015 27"iMac 5K with a 1 TB hard drive be upgraded with a an SSD drive?
