The BTO Mac mini’s combination of extra RAM, a speedy SSD, and a quad-core Core i7 processor was so good, its performance earned a Speedmark 8 score just below theġ5-inch Retina MacBook Pros. As you can see, our benchmark tests bear that out.
Hybrid drive, which houses a SSD and a hard drive in one mechanism.) Data is written to the SSD first, so the idea is that you get SSD speeds but with the capacity of standard hard drives. (A Fusion Drive is not Apple’s special implementation of a Fusion Drive gives you the best of both worlds by bringing together a separate 120GB SSD and 1TB hard drive and presenting them to both the user and applications as a single drive. SSDs are fast as all get out, but they have very limited capacity and they cost a lot more than traditional drives. I’ll dig deeper into the Fusion Drive in my next article, but in brief, Fusion Drive is Apple’s answer to the high-price-per-gigabyte problem of solid-state drives. The BTO Mac mini’s PCMark productivity test score (using VMWare Fusion) was three times higher than the high-end standard configuration’s score. The standard configuration $799 Mac mini with its 5400-rpm hard drive took more than three times as long to complete our copy file and uncompress file tests as the Fusion Drive did in the BTO Mac mini. Am I right in assuming I'll just remove the current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the OWC one? I'm not really 100% on this.Fusion Drive that really kicked the BTO Mac mini into overdrive. I plan on completely removing the current HD and replacing it with the new SSD. I've also ordered some suction cups and the relevant screwdrivers. 2 x Gigabyte High Quality Original SATA 3 6GB/s cable - UTF8&psc=1.Kingston Technology 2.5-3.5 inch bracket and screws for SSD- UTF8&psc=1.OWC In-Line Thermal Sensor HDD upgrade 2009-2010 - UTF8&psc=1.The iMac in question is a mid 2010 27" model.
Could someone please help me out and let me know if I'm not on the right track here. After doing some research and watching some YouTube videos I'm not sure if I may have purchased the right tools for the job. After some thought, (mainly while waiting for my iMac to start up!), I have decided to replace the HDD with an SSD.
