iMac 27 SSD i7 (Summer 2010) Startup and Shutdown Times

[lHenry97]

675 bucks (€) is pretty pricey is it worth the money? or should i just get the normal hdd?

[TheTechnoRat]

@lHenry97 Hmmm, I'm not sure really. The SSD does make it very snappy, but you may not need it. Bear in mind Apple could release a new iMac in a few months, so you might want to wait.

i guess ssd is all that matters, eh?

i just put a 120gb ssd into my macbook unibody 2009 with a 2.26 core2duo and 2gb ram and i get about the same boot speed

i get about 27 seconds startup with a normal 7200rpm drive in my core i5 desktop. would and ssd make a much bigger difference?

[TheTechnoRat]

@GtKiNg4LiF3 No, not really.

SSD is a lighting drive

@The TechnoRat Glad that you solved the problem! A friend of mine who purchased the HDD version (1 terabyte) experienced a similar slowdown during the bootup sequence. He selected his M. HDD as booting device and from over a minute it went down to 40 seconds...not bad for a common SATA HDD.

Have you seen bheitjan video? His bootup seems to last less than 20 seconds!

[Jullzzzz]

whitch one should i get the i5 or the i7?

im going to use it for gaming,videos and possible rendering

[TheTechnoRat]

@Jullzzzz Definately the i7 definitely, considering all the extra features it comes with, faster speed, and not much more expensive!

[TheTechnoRat]
