My parents have a late 2013 27’ iMac that came with a traditional HD. After some years (beginning of 2016) the system was being a bit sluggish so I convinced them to upgrade the thing with a SSD to speed things up.
I ordered a 250GB Samsung EVO SSD. Gave it to my parents and they passed the SSD and iMac to a hardware repair/installation store so they could install it.
So this was some time ago. Today I was at their place and I thought this iMac is more slow than before so I checked thoroughly and I get conflicting information about the storage.
I expect the worst. They’ve hustled my parents for a SSD and in turn shoehorned a feeble Western Digital HD. (Yeah, Okay it’s a 1 TB instead of a 250GB, but that premium is in speed)
Perhaps I’m wrong? I’ve checked the entire lot, perhaps I’m seeing something else. I want you guys to convince me. To me it’s clear as day. We gave them a 250GB SSD, but it doesn’t say anything about it. Check the Macintosh HD Info at the bottom. Solid State: no.
Or am I wrong here?
Boy am I pissed. It's just my parents ain't really savvy in this and it's they thought they hustled some "old folks".
