Hey everyone,
So I was looking around for Thunderbolt SSD Enclosures for my iMac. I wasn to add a SSD, but I REALLY REALLY don't feel like opening up my shiny new computer.
This is the alternative that I was thinking about:
Echo ExpressCard/34 Thunderbolt Adapter from Sonnet - $149
Tempo SATA ExpressCard/34 from Sonnet - $49
Vantec NexStar CX 2.5" SATA to USB 2.0 & eSATA External Hard Drive/SSD Enclosure - $19
Samsung 830 128 GB SSD - $199
Total Cost: $420
Anyone think this would work? Would performance be similar?
