SSD speed and upgrade
Hi,
I desperately need to speed up my late 2009 iMac, I see that adding a SSD drive does not seem to be possible unless I add it into the optical enclosure.
The questions I have are:
1. Am I correct that I cannot replace the existing WD drive with a SSD?
2. If I add the SSD using the optical drive kit, can I set this to be the boot device.
3. Will this improve performance.
PS. The existing HDD is a 1TB WDC WD1001FALS-40U9B0.
Thanks!
Questa è una buona domanda?

Speed up desperately why? For what end? MAXing RAM will increase performance more than an SSD would. SSDs will read faster, boot faster (for certain values of faster) but they are not like sticking a HEMI or adding nitrous to an auto.

The machine is getting slower and slower and I suspect the HDD is giving up. That is why I am considering the upgrade. The machine already has 16GB or RAM, so I don't think that that is the issue.
