Hmmm, interesting. I'm wondering though if the cheapest/easiest solution might be to use an external SSD or even a flash drive?

How about something like one of these?:

I have no issues running a 2011 iMac (USB 2.0 ports) from a SSD via an external USB case.

Thanks for the links...I've ordered a low profile 128GB USB drive to try with it.
