  You don't really have that option with Apple hardware. You take what they give you. Unless you like opening the cases of computers which are designed to discourage you from doing so. But again, the seek times are the important thing, not transfer bandwidth.

      I think iMacs used to be easier to upgrade, but now it looks like a nightmare: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=350120 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=350120 I'm not doing that! It's probably so they can get everything inside the case. Making it user accessible would really reduce their options in placing parts.
