. I bought this particular SSD to use as an external boot drive for my 2017 i5 5K 27" iMac. It was recommended by software publisher Carbon Copy Cloner, which I used to clone my internal hard drive boot drive to this SSD .I first reformatted the SSD and then cloned my internal boot disk according to the instructions on it.I was very disappointed with the performance,it was very slow especially on startup.The next day I went through all the steps again and can say that it runs fairly quickly when using the computer. It still seems to take a little longer for the computer to boot up instead of the internal drive, but not too slow. Overall I think it's worth the money for the price. Also, the seller was great very responsive.
