[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1729408, member: 42497"] That replacing it yourself is a big step. Before upgrading my iMac, I had the same model as you and faced the same problem. I purchased a Silicon Power 240GB external Thunderbolt SSD and sat it on a rack from 12 South Dock that fits stand of the iMac with holes for cooling. It ran very well and fast, faster than some other brand SSds fitted internally. Only problem is any updates go via the i8nternal drive first. I used the internal simply as a backup.
