Hello
I'm looking to install a SSD Samsung Eco 2 TB and a normal digital black among Westerners of 6 TB HDD, can I ask people their advice? I try to have ssd as my boot drive and the 6 TB for backup and the files.
(a) problems with the selected material
(b) it is useful, wise money for example I should save a little more and buy a new iMac
(c) are there alternatives
looking to make a TI takes forever to go start cold.
I have a mid 2011 iMac i7 (12,2) with the last what OS X installed.
Cheers in advance,
RK based in the United Kingdom
The major issue that you will have is that the 2011 iMac is not a disk controller capable of working with a 3 to or more large internal drive. Furthermore, what is the point of this large an SSD? If the Samsung Eco models are cheaper SSD, while they are cheaper because they are made with older chips may not correspond to current levels of performance. Do you really need a 2 TB SSD for a boot disk? A smaller and better quality SSD may be a better choice.

external 14.2 iMac SSD upgrade
I have an iMac of end of 2013 with a 1 TB HARD drive. I'm looking to upgrade to an SSD because I believe that the HARD drive is really slow. I will use an external SSD as the startup disk with the existing as disk HARD drive "data". I wrote a question and got an answer on how to do it.
Now, I need to choose an SSD. Regarding affordability, I want to buy a 256 GB SSD, because I think it will be enough for now.
There are so many reviews out there and it's a little intimidating so I thought to ask here looking for personal experience of the population.
Looks like the Samsung 850 EVO PRO has excellent reviews. Also, did someone use Digital Monster USB 3.0 Mini Overdrive?
Thanks in advance
I used one of them for 3 years now: OWC (macsales.com); what I've read here, Samsung do not have the best record with the Mac, but I have no direct experience with that.

mid-2010 iMac slower afer is upgraded to El Capitan
Hi all
I ran EtreCheck (thanks Allan!); details below.
Also ran AHT & it showed no problems
I installed an SSD in December machine considered fast - then installed El Capitan and he slowed, & I think it's gotten worse in recent weeks.
Symptoms:
- delays of beach ball
- Some applications and files are very slow to open
- using bluetooth keyboard & mouse - cursor seems to get hung up in emails, etc. (& same jumps around tasks randomly once in a while - JUST started using the mouse & keyboard cable; so far, not sure they are better.)
- using iCloud for most documents. The files are slow to open, but Cnet speed test shows that 20-30 MB/s download speed.
I do not know is that a "clean install", but I had no problem (obvious) El Cap installation.
With the SSD and 20 GB of RAM, this machine should always work for some time, Yes?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and advice.

The only obvious thing that I see is that your RAM is installed incorrectly. It should be in pairs, your is wrong in pairs. The Bank 0 and Bank 1 should have identical RAM installed. You also have a very old version of Parallels installed. If you use Windows yet then upgrade of Parallels and if you uninstall according to the developers.

Time Machine-to the exclusion of directories
I'm backup my iMac SSD drive (500 GB) on a 3T OSX to format drive. I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder). What I find is that Time Machine takes about 3-4 DAYS to run a backup. It takes a particularly long time to complete the process of 'cleaning up' after the backup (which apparently does not get completed if broken.)
When I "Get Info" to the Backups.backupdg directory that it takes several hours to calculate the size of this folder (~1.5T), while "Get Info" is almost instantaneous on other 4 or 5 t formatted (NTSC) or another OS x 2 t formatted the disk.
I do this so I can backup the entire disk 3T a cloud or off site backup.
If I can exclude the Time Machine backup of itself, I suspect the backup can be done in less than an hour. Is there a way to do this in Time Machine or must it backs up the entire drive? If the latter, I'll apply for improvement for Time Machine!
joshfromalameda wrote:

That confuses me. Time Machine is unable to save himself.
I also use a directory on this 3T USB as a secondary drive in my favorites (Finder).
If you back up the content that is stored on the backup volume, Time Machine will not work properly.
I think there is something on your Time Machine configuration, I don't understand. Even if your iMac contained 500 GB of content source, the initial backup to a drive connected locally can take a few hours. Subsequent incremental (hours) will take only a few minutes.
How this backup disk is connected? USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt...?

Signature of e-mail correspondence with logo
I'm on an iMac SSD 1 t Yosemite running and I want to create signatures for e-mail with my company logo not appearing as a JPEG or PDF and open on a delayed basis. How can I accomplish this? I looked in the App store for Mac and iOS, and offerings are dismal, with a low rating. I'm not a coder, but is there a way to create signature in Pages and save as HTML? I need to run Yosemite for now that several pieces of my business software does not work on El Capitan (I had to wipe the mac and reinstall Yosemite a month ago.)
Thanks for any help!

Clone HD on SSD (Imac mid-2011)
Hi, I have an iMac mid-2011 with 1 TB of hard drive and I'll install a SSD 1 TB as a second drive. I think I will clone the HD on the SSD with Carbon Copy Cloner. My question is: can do the clone operation after installing the SSD inside the iMac to speed up the process or I clone the HD before the opening of the iMac with the SSD connected via USB? I have only USB 2.0, I think is going to be very slow in this way... Thank you, Francesco
Install the internal SSD if that's your plan. Start the computer from the HARD disk, and then use disk utility to partition and format the SSD drive as follows:
Clone El Capitan on a new disc
- Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command - R until the Apple logo and progress bar appear.
- When the Utility Menu appears, select disk utility and click on the continue button.
- When disk utility loads select the SSD (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
- Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
- Set the GUID partition scheme.
- Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
- Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
- Select the new SSD, then select restore in the menu editing of disk utility.
- In the drop-down menu select the volume that you want to clone - your HARD drive.
- Click the apply button to start the process.
This can take some time depending on the amount of data is transferred. Disk utility also automatically clones Recovery HD from the HDD to the SSD.

Room temperature for SSD - iMac 2011
I had a company local 'geek' install a 1 TB Samsung EVO 850 SSD in my iMac 2011 after the factory 1 TB WD HDD went belly upwards. The iMac works fine after installation, but the fan runs continuously. I think (and check with technician) they have not connect the thermal sensor that I understand other forums, there is a spare cable. anyway. I installed Mac Fan Control, which was extremely easy and place the SSD fan to operate "sensor value based on '-'Ambient '. the default value for the SSD shows the temperature the fan will begin to increase is 75 degrees F, with a temperature Max to 95 degrees f. once set the fan has appeased and now always so gently purr, but I wonder if the settings are correct.
The Question: what would be the temperature for a SDS now in an iMac 2011? are the default settings listed above in the correct range? where can I find this info. I searched on the web...
Thanks in advance.
The vendor who installed the SSD correct wiring, the fan control installation should work (although I don't recommend generally), but the seller must install things correctly. after 2009 iMacs had HD with temporary sensors integrated in the HD, your SSD does not only so you are correct in your statement that he needs the heat sensor wire. OWC provides one with their kits.
BTW, if you have taken your computer to Best Buy, which was your first mistake. I would not let any tech BBY within 5 miles of my equipment.

2011 21 inch iMac won't start after the SSD upgrade
Recently, I upgraded my hard drive for an SSD via a computer repair business in my neighborhood, I also upgraded the ram, but I don't think it's in the case. On a two weeks after the upgrade, my computer don't turn on more. I took it to the genius bar and they told me that the DSS had "failed." So of course, I took my computer to the computer repair company and they ran some tests, discovered that the hard disk does not (according to them, he only read this way because the apple store has run the test for a normal hard drive and not an SSD). I'm not super computer savvy, so I took their word for it.
Now, however, it has been nearly a month and my computer refuses to activate once again. Previously, it has worked well, the fans were running at full blast - what I knew would be a problem (although the repairman told me that they 'fixed' this issue too). So the first time, I downloaded a program called SSD fan control and set the fans to run in silent mode. This second time around, I realized that it was probably a bad idea because it could lead to overheating, so I put manually the fan speed so that we could hear still run, but just not as loud.
I tried the reset SMC, but no result. Right now, I unplugged everything including disconnect it from the power strip.
Any other experience of power with a new SSD failure? Is there anything else I could try at home before contacting the computer again repair business? I would not be able to reach at least until tomorrow, and I'm really curious to know how they managed to get my computer back on the first time.
Also, I've been out of my warranty period for about a year, so that's why I thought that I was not risking too much by exchanging the original for one SSD drive.
First of all, the original in Middle 2011 iMac hard drive had a temperature sensor integrated in the drive. More new or replacement of those who do not.
Other World Computing sells an Apple certified temperature sensor that plugs into the SATA cable.
https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/OWC/DIDIMACHDD11/
I just put a 2 GB Western Digital Black in mine, with the sensor.
I suggest all first, reinstall the OEM disc and see if it boots.
Put the SSD in an external enclosure and see if it runs...

iMac 5 k SSD SSD performance external vs internal
Can anyone point me in the direction of a comparison of the performance of the real world into an iMac 5 k SSD internal flash drive and an external (ideally a lightning strike) and one on usb? Basically, I want to know how I give you performance by buying a small built in SSD and putting most of the data on an external.
The brand data only real bench I've seen are of 2012 by BareFeats (http://barefeats.com/hard154.html), which means SATA rather than PCIe on internal and Thunderbolt vs Thunderbolt-2 on the outside.

Update of SSD card on end of 2013 iMac 27.
During the configuration of the iMac 27 (end of 2013), there was an option for the SSD. I checked some videos on the replacement of this SSD card.
My unit came with just a regular 1 TB HARD drive. I'm assuming that the motherboard has an empty slot I can install an SSD card (and install the operating system). Then I would get a faster start to the top.
How can I confirm that this motherboard has this empty slot (short to open the computer).
What are the specs I'm looking to buy this card SSD. There are a couple size SSD cards out there.
My EMC number is: 2639

Addition of DIY SSD for iMac end 2013 now out of warranty
Data sheet:
- iMac (21.5 inch, at the end of 2013)
- 2.9 GHz i5
- 8GBs of RAM
- 1 TB HARD DRIVE
He is now out of warranty, so I think about adding an internal SSD flash drive. However, I did no workshop manual and have never looked inside. However, before making such a change, I would like to know if it is possible, how it will be difficult and if one SSD 2.5 "can be added or a PCIe SSD if there is a slot on the motherboard.
If you have useful information, I would greatly appreciate your passing along.
The end of 2013 21.5 "has only one SATA connector on the system board so your only choice is to replace the hard drive, cannot add a second internal drive. You can find several guides repair for your computer here https://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel_21.5%22_EMC_2638
If you decide to open your iMac and replace the HD you can consider upgrading your ram 16 GB as yours is the last 21.5 "with ram slots even if they are not user extensible https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/1600DDR3S16P/

iMac mid-2010 for one SSD HARD drive replacement
Hello
After reflection, (mainly in the meantime my principalement en attendant mon iMac iMac starts!), I decided to replace the HDD with a SSD. After having done some research and I watch YouTube videos, I'm not sure if I have bought the right tools for the job. Could someone please help me and let me know if I'm not on the right track here.
The iMac in question is a model 27 "2010.
Here's what I have on order:
- Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD
- OWC online Thermal Sensor HDD upgrade 2009-2010 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017OEQKV2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1
- Kingston Technology 2.5 to 3.5 inches support and live for SSD - UTF8 & PSC = 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DGL2X7I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=
- 2 x cable high quality Original SATA 6 GB/s 3 - Gigabyte https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BBYOD3E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie= UTF8 & PSC = 1
I also ordered suction cups and relevant screwdrivers.
I intend to completely remove the current HD and its replacement by the new SSD. Am I right assuming that I will just remove current thermal sensor cable and replace it with the one OWC? I'm not 100% on this one.
Cheers in advance
Ian
Yes, you just remove the thermal sensor and place the OWC in line sensor (the sticker pad can be placed on the support of 2, 5-2, 5 (as the SSD will not have a lot of heat). The longer a cable must be re-attached the logic board.
The only suggestion I have would be - it probably need not SATA cables for this-> upgrade SSD HARD drive, thermal line sensor is long enough - in fact, too long that I had to press them to be shaped in the iMac. Unless you plan to add other SSD in the system, since the iMac 2010 with SATA 2 (3 GB/s speed).
Good luck

How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?
This has two questions:
1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.
2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.
3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.
Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.
The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.
Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.
Is there a way to get what I need?
That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?
Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3
Thank you.
After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.
Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.
A. take backup
1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.
B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD
1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)
Cs diskutil list
2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive. Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,
diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID
CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID
This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.
I hit this issue too. To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:
Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)
and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).
This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.
2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.
Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".
3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".
C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.
1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.
D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.
1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.
2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software. Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.
3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.
4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use. Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model). Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.
-From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.
-Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.
-Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.
5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.
It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.
Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.
For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.
7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.
E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.
1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page. Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE. Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.
2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.
F. reinstall OSX El Capitan
Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well. You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.
1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.
2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.
3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.
4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.
5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.
6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.
The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.
The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.
G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc
1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.
2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.
3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.
4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.
5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.
Cs diskutil list
6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage. Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.
diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID
CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID
7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.
/ dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0
1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB
2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2
/ dev/disk1 (internal, physical):
#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1
1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2
3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD
4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4
5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5
8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.
diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5
Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.
In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.
So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2
9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.
diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

11 exit the terminal, go back to OSX El Capitan install screen and select the name of the fuser unit 'Macintosh HD' proceed to begin the installation of the os x for installation.
12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.
13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.
14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.
15. yet once please take personal responsibility on damage if you follow the instructions in this article.
