Apple MacOS Big Sur performance FAQ Questions and Answers by Apple Support Specialist – Keith Thomas.
What is the Best Way to Improve the Performance of Mac OS on Intel Apple Mac Computers?
Use SSD solid state flash storage technology as the macOS Start-up Storage volume if you have a Apple iMac Desktop Computer that is using a slower SATA Storage Volume.
Upgrade the memory ram from 8Gb to 16Gb can improve the performance on supported Apple Mac hardware.
The best way to speed up MacOS Big Sur is to upgrade from SATA to SSD on a Apple iMac 2017, or iMac 2019 or MacBook Pro computer that has an older SATA storage volume fitted. A SSD is 66% to 70% faster than a SATA storage volume.
If an SSD internal storage is not possible or is no longer available, the an option that can work is to use an external USB storage volume, like the Crucial X8 or a Western Digital My Passport SSD.
