I hadn't used my iMac in maybe 5 years. Been using my 2012 MBP everywhere (put extra ram and internal SSD inside but physically it's just falling apart).
Recently dusted it and turned it back on. It was running very slow. Bought 32gb of RAM and it started working much much better, and upgraded it to newest possible OSX compatible and it worked great for a few days.
Yesterday was getting startup error. Internal HDD finally died, so the resurrection lasted than 2 weeks.
Any suggestions for external SSD + enclosure? Not sure if I feel like opening up this iMac and installing it inside. I also recently bought a brand new M4 MBP, but I liked having the iMac on my desk to do school work and such and MBP to bring around everywhere else. If it's less of a headache, would rather just run and use an external SSD for it.
