  • An SSD in a 2006 iMac makes no sense because it has inly SATA I built in.

  • @MacTech4ever95 so what? you think that SATA is not fast enough? primary advance of SSD over harddrive is seeking speed.

  • @zarjesve2 SSDs have their benefits. But SATA I has a speed of 150MB/s. That`s slow compared to SATA III with 600MB/s. And average SSDs today should have a maximum speed of at least 300MB/s.

  • @MacTech4ever95 you are talking about throughput and I agree that more is better :) but if SATA would have 50MB/s you will still see gain in speed with SSD over hadrddrive because of seeking time difference (few ms vs 0.1 ms) se yes: SSD have a *lot* of sense in 2.16GHz iMac from 2006 regardless of only SATA I ;)

  • @brianyip I have just installed Lion in my late 2006 iMac and it is wonderful check out my video

  • Did you try to install Lion in?

  • good

  • Aw poop... :( It doesn't look any faster than the stock platter based hard drive I have in mine now... Kinda hoping the gray Apple screen would have gone by in a blink.

    Interesting to know though. Thanks!
