I'm thinking this will NOT impact the performance I'm seeing in Xcode as I'm assuming the performance issue is this old i5 2-core processor, not disk access. The shop where I bought this can install (relatively inexpensively) a 512GB SSD to replace this slow HD. Even when I set it to run code manually (I'm new to Swift so I'm just doing Playground coding right now) it slows to a crawl. However, Xcode is another story entirely. I thought the big test of whether this was going to be powerful enough for my needs was the 3D CAD software I run, but that runs just fine. This is my first Mac, and I've been very impressed with how well it performs despite being 8 years old - it's an i5 2-core w/16mb of memory and a 1TB HD.
