My iMac has standard hard drive and it is tired. My i5 2.7GHz processor with 16GB RAM has life in it yet! Upgrading to SSD looks like a good option. I see my Late 2013 21.5 inch model could originally be purchased with 512GB SSD. Is that the limit or could I put a 1TB SSD in there now? Thanks

No limitation on the capacity. If you do execute this upgrade, please only use OWC (www.macsales.com) SSDs.

Yes. At that time that was as big as they went.
How deep are your pockets?
It is more a matter of cost which is the limiting factor on the size of SSDs.
Big thanks. So was the 512GB limit originally simply because they didn't make anything bigger?
iMac upgrade to SSD what capacity is possible?
