iMac Late 2012 and Pro Tools 11 questions

[hermantf]

Hello everyone. New member here with my first post.

I'm considering upgrading my computer and I have a few questions that I'm hoping you all might be able to help me out with before I do it. Basically, I want to be as certain as possible before I upgrade so that I minimize the possibility of running into any potential problems.

I have done some searching here and I believe that the computer that I'm considering will run what I need it to run, but it isn't listed on the Avid Pro Tools Compatibility Chart, hence my reason for posting this question here.

So here it is:

iMac 27" 3.4GHZ i7 (Late 2012) - Apple A1419-2546
OS 10.10 (Yosemite)
I want to run Pro Tools 11 (and in the near future, Pro Tools 12)

Here are my 2 questions:

Will it run Pro Tools 11 and 12?

and

I have the option of choosing a 7200 RPM drive, or a 512GB SSD. Do Pro Tools 11 and 12 run significantly faster with a SSD?

Thank you all in advance!
