Hello,
I ordered an iMac 21.5" Retina with a 512 GB flash storage (SSD). On the box however I found that it was a simple 1 TB HDD 5200rpm. So I called them right away before unboxing the iMac. They said the drive was replaced by the authorized Apple dealer to SSD and it turns out that it really was. But...Here is my question.
When I check the info about this iMac (About This Mac --> System Report --> Storage from the navigation), I see that there's a Samsung SSD indeed, but the protocol is SATA, not PCI. In my Macbook Pro retina I see the protocol is PCI. I have attached an image. Anyone with SSD (flash) storage can please check what they have there? Is this SATA in any way affecting the speed (such as booting up, etc) of my iMac? Thanks
