will you put a SSD in your imac ?

[macchiato2009]

hi

is someone here planning on putting a SSD in his new imac ?

seems thougher this time because of the heat probe, directly using a cable connected on the serial port of the stock HDD

instead of the regular heat control thru S.M.A.R.T

2.5" drives don't have the same pins as 3.5" drives...

i don't see how we can plug a SSD...

Yes, I will put in a 160GB x-25 eventually.

Not really interested in cracking that computer open. I would if I wasn't afraid of bricking a $1500 machine

No interest for me - the stock hd is more than fast enough for what I do.

Just wait for the ssd option to be included in the future. should be the next update. it would be stupid not to include that option

i really want an ssd with the imacs.

If I was getting an iMac I would.

I plan on putting an SSD in mine when it gets here. But I will probably wait a few months to do it. Wait for the prices in SSD's to come down. My ideal set up is going to be an 80 GB SSD in place of the main drive and the replacing the CD/DVD drive with a 500 GB HD. I can't wait to do it.

Soon as I get an iMac the "super" drive is getting axed and an Intel SSD is going in its place.

Same here! Altho I'm still trying to figure out how to install SL without a dvd -drive.

Same here!

I have greatly enjoyed the speed of the 80gb X25-M that I have in my laptop.

Get an 8GB usb flash drive (about $20) and copy the DVD onto it. This method will make installing MUCH faster too.

Oh sweet. I though this might be possible. I even have a 8GB flash drive so I don't need to buy anything extra.

Whacking one in mine but most likely not for a year or so or until there is an affordable 512gb version.
