Chosen Solution
I did a ssd upgrade on my iMac 27 late 2012. now I have a clean iMac with two internal drives: one apple blade ssd (around 120GB) and an internal big one (Samsung evo 870 1TB) . but how can I get a clean setup? I wanted to use the small one JUST for booting up (nothing else; in the hope for the fast possible startup) and the big one for daily use and storage… is that possible?
I tried it by my self but ended up in a mess and don’t know what to do now… thankful for any help
HiYa, There is very little point to booting from the 120GB and using the 1TB for storage - both drives will be very similar speeds (PCIe SATA drive vs SATA drive - you could test with BlackMagic Disk speed test but both will give around 500 MB/sec). You are best off installing the OS onto the 1Tb and using the 120GB for things like downloads / swap files etc.. Easier all round. Hope this helps.
