What do you plan on doing with it?Hi...
Witch Imac model should i choose if I want to upgrade it my self..?
This is true, and USB3 isn't the only advantage the Late 2012 iMacs have. The GPUs are Metal-compliant, and this is a huge advantage over the Mid-2011 iMacs.Suggest goinbgwith bhe 2012 27" model. It has the advantage over the 2011 of USB3 ports which are some ten times faster than USB2.
There is no need to replace the blade in a 2012. It is on a SATA III bus which makes it no faster than installing a SATA III SSD to replace the HDD. Since you can get those up to 4TB,Also, the Late 2012 has the slow SSD blade that are more expensive than the SATA drives that can go in the Mid-2011 iMacs.
It depends on what the user wants to do. If the user wants 900MB - 1000MB Read speeds, this could be a reason to replace the blade.There is no need to replace the blade in a 2012.

there's no point to the blade unless you want to use it as a TechTool Pro repair drive or something like that. There's no harm in keeping it either.
Another limitation of the Late 2012 compared to the Mid 2011 would be if the user wanted 8TB SSD of internal storage, or 12TB SSD. This would be possible on the Mid 2011 by setting up a software RAID0 or JBOD, but not possible with the with the Late 2012.Since you can get those up to 4TB
Really? What SATA III blade gives you that in a 2012?It depends on what the user wants to do. If the user wants 900MB - 1000MB Read speeds, this could be a reason to replace the blade.
Potentially, any of them.Really? What SATA III blade gives you that in a 2012?
Ahhh, I get it.Potentially, any of them.
Again, I am referring to two drives being in RAID0.
Oh yeah....There are cable adapters that let you plug a regular SSD into that connector. Just mount it where it has a chance of being cooled i. e. not taped to the other one.
3. Target Display Mode, the Mid-2011 27" has a gorgeous display on it, and it is one of the few iMac models that can be used as an external display.
This is true, but that doesn't make it any less awesome!You can only use it in Target Display mode with another Apple product, for instance display mirroring or for debugging. Not that you can use it as an external display for anything else.
You can also expand your desktop.display mirroring or for debugging.
Knock yourself out. Even though I spent years in Win support, I have no interest in it at all anymore.I'm thinking about getting the 2020, however whilst the 2011 is no longer getting Mac security updates it can still run the latest Windows 10 even though Apple never officially supported running Windows 10 on it.
