I have them in my two Mac Pros and late 2005 G5 PowerMac. Thought about getting a 27' iMac, but I like having my 27' apple display because I can plug my work laptop into it and work off of it when I'm working from home.Ĭlick to expand.Concur that one or more SSDs are very satisfying to have as they definitely give one the impression that activity has speed up. Not a fan of the new Mac Pro because storage expansion is primarily external, which I don't like. Considering getting a new SSD (at least 240GB). With installing starcraft2 (~30gb), my free space is down to 2gb. Considering bumping it up to at least 16GB or maybe more. 8GB RAM (had 10, but the stock 2x1GB sticks went bad). I am considering upgrading the RAM and the boot drive, but I just don't want to regret spending the money to upgrade if it makes more sense to just get a newer machine.

I mainly use it for photos, with occasional videos and games (starcraft2). I'm looking for advice - if I upgrade it, how many more years of useful life will I get out of it?

I have a 2008 Mac Pro that is working pretty well, but i'm starting to run out of space on my boot drive (80gb SSD from 6 years ago).
