[QUOTE="CRAIGYBABES, post: 1667226, member: 29285"] Hi, My mid 2007 iMac is still going strong but now i have upgraded to Yosemite things are going a little slower. I've chosen to upgrade to a 256gb SSD drive. Now initial thoughts were to swap it with the 2TB HDD that is in there now. But I've read that you can keep the original HDD in place and put the SSD in the optical bay with an adapter. However this seems more complicated and I'm unsure about setting it all up. it seems easier to me to swap the drives but I would then need to put all of my files onto an externally connected HDD. If i do this with a firewire cable will I negate or offset the upgrade benefits of going to a SSD drive for Apps etc or should I be brave and try putting the SSD in the optical bay? Hopefully, someone can advise on which is best. Many thanks in advance. Craig [/QUOTE]
