Mac Pro and it seemed to work well. But I am pretty cautious so will indeed put off putting it on the main HD for a while. When I do I will back every thing up so I can revert back if need to.

Hey I am curious, did you do the iMac SSD and RAM upgrade yourself? How hard was it to get into the machine and do that?

I changed out the processors in my Mac Pro and upgraded my MacBook Pro w an SSD, so not afraid to do that sort of thing.

But an iMac seems very daunting!
