Even if you do have a Time Machine back up, cloning is a simple way of putting all your data on a new drive. There are many reasons you may want to clone your drive to a new SSD. Choose the method that suits you best, and we'll show you how to do it, tell you the hardware you need and back you up with awesome customer technical support. We call this our "Four R method", because each step starts with the letter R. We have tried to show exactly what you need to do in simple steps. All that experience is distilled in this guide. We have helped thousands of people with Apple computers upgrade their Macs. When you buy from Upgradeable, local tech support is just a phone call away. This guide is just an example of how we try to over deliver our customer service. There is a reason most new Macs only come with SSDs. Start using your Mac the way it was designed to be used.fast and no waiting. So when your Mac runs out of ram and pages to the SSD (uses the SSD as RAM) then it does not slow down, because an SSD is really like a big RAM drive! The SSD is also made from flash chips that are almost as fast as the RAM. The SSD knows where all your data is instantaneously.
With an SSD, there is no waiting, this is because your data is effectively in a spreadsheet. A traditional hard drive is like a record player, when you send data from the HDD to the CPU the computer has to find it, it hunts around the platters/disc looking for all the data. It is not the raw speed of the SSD, it is how it works. It is stuck on an older OSX, so it can not run Sierra or be used for any power applications, but it does show what an SSD can do to make an iMac more usable. It can perform moderate tasks with ease, browser, mail, word processing. The start time went from 2 minutes to 15 seconds. How fast can it perform? The results even surprised us.
We have a 2006 iMac in the Upgradeable office and we decide to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD to see the effect. A RAM upgrade is easy, a iMac SSD upgrade is a bit harder, but after reading this guide you'll be an expert with all the knowledge to make an SSD upgrade simple.įor general use, most iMacs have enough CPU power. Replacing your mechanical hard drive with an SSD, and you will experience an incredible increase in speed. Applications will open quicker, starting up is snappy, and the overall result is extending the life of your Mac. Upgrade to an SSD and you can make your Mac run like new.
