Upgrade from 24" iMac to 27"iMac or Mac Pro?
currently running 24" imac 6gb ram ssd boot/apps drive aperture library / project files on fw800 external.
goal maximize aperture 3 performance, sluggish least on current rig huge raw files.
things require:
-ssd boot / apps drive capability. optimally liek lift existing ssd out of imac , put in whichever machine end with. don't want have reinstall everything, made fresh install on ssd when installed few months ago.
-fast aperture library / project files drive. feel fw800 may limiting me, either put them on internal 2tb drive backed external time machine
new imacs 256 ssd , 2tb internal hdd sounds great, can not afford , have no desire "thunderbolt" vaporware
mac pros top notch of course, feel not need raw processing power offer aperture 3 editing. bit more can afford once said , done.
can add ssd 2011 imac (pre-thunderbolt revision) , have large 2tb internal hdd? iirc, can accomplish removing disc drive somehow?
also, how go swapping ssd existing boot drive in imac? simple as: remove drive, plug drive in, turn on, , bam there old computer booting up?
wait ivy bridge imacs come out usb 3 in case. if feel firewire 800 slow , thunderbolt vaporware can't afford mac pro, don't see of alternative.
thunderbolt fantastic when there devices available make use of connection.
