I have a 2011 iMac (i7), it's still a great beast! Too old for USB 3. I was using a Firewire 800, but the HD drive was slowing down and was never really good anyway. This drive enabled me to purchase a 500 gigabyte Samsung EVO Drive. Even with Firewire 800, this was an immediate improvement. I don't need to block tracks like I used to in Logic XI, I'd switch to a Thunderbolt 2 drive, but they're all so predatory! If you want the SSD version, you're better off having a Lazy Grand or more. This drive is USB 3 and Firewire. Now that I have an OWC 12-port Thunderbolt 2 Dock, I will be running this drive via a USB 3 connection (to iMacs Thunderbolt 2 port) instead of Firewire - it will be a lot faster - arrived today - hardly can expect .
