My 2009 iMac is creaking a bit. My son is now running an external SSD on his 6 year old macbook (usb3) and running 40 audio track sessions straight off the external drive. Sadly, my iMac only has usb 2 so I am not sure if the data transfer will be fast enough. I would be quite happy to just buy an external SSD and run it off that. Does anyone have any thoughts? I could open it and dump an SSD in there but am minded to go for an i7 2.3Ghz 2012 mac mini with 16 Gig of RAM, SSD and buy a 32" screen.
Any thoughts?
TIA
