[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1774228, member: 46727"] Your iMac has 4 USB 2.0 ports. While USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to USB 2.0 the speed is going to slow down to the standard USB 2.0 which is 480 Mbits. And I believe there may even be some incompatibility between that Samsung SSD and the enclosure. Why don't you just open up your iMac and replace the 7200 RPM spinner drive with the Samsung? Instructions for getting inside and doing the work at [url]www.ifixit.com[/url]. [/QUOTE]
