The Hard Drive is dead

The classic spinning HDDs (hard disk drives) has been replaced by SSDs (solid state drives) in ALL new Apple computer models except for one lone holdout - the iMac. SSDs are far superior to HDDs - they are between five and ten times faster for read and write speeds, they are less susceptible to damage or failure, and they consume less energy. If you are considering the purchase of a new iMac, we can custom build it with an SSD straight from Apple, but if you already have an iMac, we can still upgrade you. The cost is a variable depending on how much storage you need.

Why it’s a gift - Let’s say you have an older Mac which still has one of the old, spinning HDDs inside - you can get a significant speed boost by replacing that older drive with a modern SSD. In many cases, this can delay the need to upgrade to a new Mac by one or more years! While SSD upgrades are not cheap, they are a fraction of the cost of a new Mac yet they deliver performance similar to what you would get with something more modern. You also have a vastly lower chance of having hard drive failure, risking data loss and incurring more expense. HDDs were used in Apple Laptops up until about 2013, they were used in the Mac Pro until 2013, in the Mac mini until 2018, and are STILL in use in most iMacs so if you have something with a slow, noisy, unreliable HDD, consider the upgrade to a speedy, reliable, silent SSD.
