I wanted to move my system device to an SSD to improve that performance. It can easily take 4 minutes to fully boot to a useful state. Nevertheless, Mac OS X or macOS running on an HDD iMac is SLOW. Most of my real work takes places online or on remove servers the OS isn’t a factor that I take into consideration. I have a mid-2011 iMac I use at my office to keep my workspace clean and straightforward. Just follow the instructions as below, using the new installer version. Update October 2, 2016: Lots of folks have reported that this works with El Capitan and I’ve used it with macOS Sierra as well. It’s possible for that Mac to boot in under 30 seconds and to jump generations ahead for under $200. If you have an iMac with Thunderbolt or USB 3 but without an SSD you can boot from a full-speed external SSD without opening the case.
