You will also need to transfer your old data, if desired. This video was edited and produced on the same iMac, after having it’s hard drive replaced.

mac-ssd-drives.com – An aging G5 Apple iMac gets a speed bump by installing a 2.5″ laptop size SATA II SSD into a 3.5″ full size case for use in desktop computers like the iMac and Mac Pro towers. It should be noted most Macs – especially _consumer_ Macs prior to 2008 – only have SATA I speed controller chips. This isn’t a big technical issue because SATA II spec is backwards compatible. But in older Apple laptop and desktop systems – you don’t necessarily need to buy the most expensive, fastest SSD drive: Midrange SSD’s tend to match SATA I interface speeds quite well.
In this video, I will show you how you can install OSX Leopard or Snow Leopard on an external HDD, and then boot into it. In this video, I will be using a FireWire 800 HDD, but you can use a variety of devices such as a USB HDD, a standard Flash Drive, a SD card, or even an iPod. For best results, use a FireWire 800 HDD.
