SOLVED Upgrade late-2013 iMac 21.5"

[Jaygon]

Hi,
I want to improve performance of my late-2013 iMac 21.5" with tb (10Gb/s) connection to ext ssd mainly for OS. I plan to use current internal 1TB drive for data. BUT... I have trouble trying finding a reasonable quality ssd with an appropiate TB connection (I believe TB2) as neither of those has ever been used and my USB ports are full. Thanks for any help. Cheers.
