[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1650559, member: 307555"] I get what the tech was saying. Basically he is saying that you will not see the speed increase you would expect because the bottleneck will be the slow SATA I connection in the 2007 iMac. What he is hoping to avoid you calling back saying the drive is slow when you run a speed test. Think of SATA I as a one lane gravel road and SATA III as an eight lane highway. You can go much faster on the highway - and data can travel faster on one too! He probably is correct to say a 7200rpm hard drive will give you the best speed for our money on your older system. If you want to put an SSD in your iMac you can, but you may not get the increase you expected but you will see an increase. Lisa [/QUOTE]
