Solid State Drive (SSD)
If your Mac takes a long time to boot up that's likely because it runs on a regular, spinning hard drive. This is the case with most older Macs. Did you know that replacing that spinning hard drive with a new solid-state drive (SSD) will make your Mac run significantly faster? It's true, a 5-year-old Mac with an SSD boots significantly faster than even a brand new Mac running on a regular, spinning hard drive. Installing an SSD is the most effective and least expensive thing you can do to speed up your Mac. Another benefit is an SSD has no moving parts. That means an SSD is more reliable than a regular, spinning hard drive. The good news is that swapping out the drives is not expensive thanks to the fact that SSDs are now much more affordable than they were just a year ago.
Upgrades start @ $199 including the data transfer from your old hard drive to your new SSD.
