Should I upgrade my Mac hard drive to SSD hard drive, because I don’t really see speed improvements on my dell laptop with ssd

That depends. Are the current hard drive speeds unsuitable for your needs or are you simply wanting to increase the transfer speeds just because?

Funny you mention Dell and SSD.

I have a 2011 iMac that I bought used with a 500 gig IDE drive and 4 gigs ram. I did the SSD hard drive change and bumped the ram from 4 to 16 (maxed) and Photoshop runs better and faster on this iMac than it does on my Dell Precision M4700 (i7, 500 got SSD, 32 gigs ram).

If you're having HD issues, then upgraded o SSD.

I currently have two iMac 27 5K models and one has a Fusion drive and the other a 512 SSD and I do noticed a speed and data transfer increase especially when working with large files and video.
