Hi...
Firstly...I'm a 'newbie' to this forum...so apologies for strolling in and immediately asking for help!
So...I have a Late 2012 27" iMac - Mojave, 18GB Ram....but it's painfully slow at times; particularly start up...and I've been advised at looking at getting an SDD....so I have a couple of questions...
- I'm thinking of going external to reduce cost and because I may change my mac in next 2/3 years - so I could re-use SSD. Is there much performance difference between an internal SSD and External SSD?(I have USB 3 and thunderbolt)
- what size SSD do I need? I'm thinking 1TB?
- do you think this SSD is suitable? https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/compu...o-860-2-5-internal-ssd-1-tb-10175895-pdt.html ...or is it overkill?
Thanks in advance for your help...I've been a Mac user since about 2002, so I certainly know my way round a Mac, I'm just no expert at the more 'tech' side.
Thanks all...
Norm
