I put an SSD in my imac when I regutted it, I was going to put the OS on
it then make it see everything on the 4TB HDD but it was acting kinda
funky (which since resolve for reasons not clear) and it looked a little
confusing on how to do that, so I didn't. I guess at some point I could
yet do it but it is a lot faster with the new 4TB spinning drive.

I'd consider a hard drive or a SSD
I want to install 10.11 and then evaluate email software. I currently
have email archived on this machine from 2009 on. 2000 to 2009 is
archived in eudora on a winders 2003 server.
I am currently using under 140 GBof hard drive space
SSD prices:
120GB, OWC SSD $128.75, USB 3.0 / FireWire 800
120GB, OWC SSD, $89.75, USB 3.0
240GB OWC SSD $169.99, USB 3.0 / FireWire 800
240GB, OWC SSD, $129.75, USB 3.0
Spinning hard drives, are of course cheaper, and come with their own
strengths and weakness.
For this use, would the firewire be worth the price?
For this use, the 120GB SSD would be enough, but if I spring for the
240GB, then it would be adequate for use as the main drive in this or
a future laptop.
What would y'all do?
TIA
