SSD advice for 2010 i7

[B.A.T]

Will this SSD work with a 2010 iMac? It looks like a good deal to my novice eyes. Should I look elsewhere? Any help would be appreciated on this.

It would work and from what I have read the Crucial M4 is an excellent choice in SSD for both performance and reliability.

Thanks. Just ordered this and can't wait to get it installed.

Same one I have installed in mine works great. Make sure you update it to the latest firmware.

Would you mind pointing me to the guide you used to complete this upgrade? I'm a bit confused about what additional parts are required to get the job done. I thought I was on track, but I just learned that the 2010 and 2011 iMac models require different adapters and cables to add an SSD.

Thanks!

http://www.ifixit.com/ has a lot of upgrade guides. I'm not sure about your specific model, but you could search there.

Are you installing as the only drive or with a HDD also?

I need to replace my HDD and hope to add an Sdd also in the process. Let me know what you end up getting. I think there is some kit. Also, are there any thermal sensor considerations we need to be aware of with the Sdd in a mid-2010 27" i7?

I had this installed with a 2TB HDD. It works perfect and for video encoding it is a big step up.

Crucial m4s are great. I've had experience with two of differing size and both worked flawlessly
