Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD).Hardware PartsThis is the list of hardware components I ended up buying for this upgrade:
To avoid the swapping I also replaced one of the 2 GB memory modules with a new OWC 4GB module, bringing the total available memory to 6GB. The solution I adopted (found on several posts on the internet) was to replace the existing SATA HDD with an SSD, and replace the optical drive with a PATA to SATA adapter hosting a 2.5in HDD. So I wanted the fast SSD drive but also to maintain the 1 TB of space available. I own a mid-2007 24in iMac with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of DDR2 DRAM, running Mac OS Mountain Lion, and for the past few months the computer was getting slower and slower, and when I was running Windows XP in VMWare Fusion, the machine was often swapping, bringing the iMac to a crawl. Finally I decided to upgrade my iMac by installing an SSD. Two years ago I replaced the Western Digital 500 GB hard drive (that failed on me one day by giving me the gray screen of death at boot time), with a 1 TB WD caviar green which I almost filled since then (about 750 GB used).
