I Swapped the Hard Drive in My 2009 27" iMac with a SSD

The 512GB Crucial M4I have to admit to being a little scared at first. I'd never taken an iMac apart before and I couldn't afford to replace it if I messed up. The lure of speed was just too great and SSD prices have finally eroded to a price I wanted to spend.

The task isn't easy or straightforward and I recommend doing your homework before pulling the glass off the front of your iMac, but the reward is worth it.

In short, everything went perfectly and my 2009 iMac is running like a scalded dog. If you don't boot from a SSD, you're wasting time! Get all the details here.
