I'm looking to install a proper SSD on this iMac because the fusion drive is a real POS. It has failed three times in three years, and each time requires a crazy process of troubleshooting to get it back up and running..but i digress.
I realize that instillation on these old iMacs is pretty nuts, but I'm not worried about that.
What I am wondering and what I cannot find anywhere online, is if this iMac supports SATA III drives.
I want to make sure its worth it - that I can get a really fast / nice SSD to swap it out with. Lastly, will it support any kind of SSD drive or only certain models? It's a bit difficult to find info on this models SSD swapping since it's so difficult to do, I'm guessing not many people do it.
iMac, 27 inch, late 2012 3.4ghz FUSION drive
Model A1419 (EMC 2546)
