@antc - Have a read on Cindori about its features and benefits. It appears to make a fair bit of difference on my suite, and I could see the difference between the enabled and disabled mac units.
@Ranger07 - Glad to hear I wasn't the only one that went ahead and butchered these little beautiesAfter my 22nd Machine, I would do it with my eyes closed.
@antc - if you're honestly thinking about this as a long term solution (hanging an external drive off the side of the imac.
Have a good think and check out some YouTube video's on replacing the internal drive. The same principle applies as the iPhone in theory, Suction cup to lift the front glass away, several hex style screws to remove the fascia and screen, you also need to remove the ram cover, disconnect the camera, and you're pretty much there, you will at this point see the HDD and it's connections. Reverse procedure to complete. You can check the solid state with the front glass off, it is magnetic so will pop back on if it's too close, just lean the Screen back in position and boot up.
@samurl - Not thinking of doing it myself, quite happy to take the iMac apart and fit 1 or 2 ssd (perhaps replacing the superdrive)
Was just interesting to know it can be done and it runs well.
Will take a look at the trim info you mentioned too, thanks for that. Although at this point it is new to me and I don't really understand what it does yet.
