About :

A minimal investment, I opened, disassembled and upgraded this iMac Retina 4K (2017 A1418). In this complete tutorial I show you how to upgrade the RAM and replace the Fusion Drive of your iMac with a 2400Mb/s NVMe SSD. Is it worth it in 2023? The result? Absolutely incredible. iMacs equipped with a Fusion Drive (2012-2020) can be upgraded with an SSS NVMe M.2 with a relative adapter. As for the RAM, pay particular attention to the year of construction of the computer and model.
