[QUOTE="dhokes, post: 1642225, member: 75896"] I've got an iMac (late 2012) and I'm thinking about getting an external SSD. I'm thinking about getting this [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E3W1726/"]Samsung 250GB[/URL], however, I'm not sure what I need to connect it to my iMac. 1. Would something like [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006J2L0ZM/"]this USB to SATA cable[/URL] be sufficient? 2. I've heard mentions of Thunderbolt but is this recommended? 3. Would I need to do anything to the SSD to get it to work with my iMac or would it work 'out of the box'? [/QUOTE]
