SSD in a G5

anyone had success putting an SSD in a G5 and getting the maximum speed out of it? issues i'm aware of include the native SATA-1 interface, which will limit speed to a theoretical max of 187.5 MB/s, regardless of how fast the SSD itself is. the way around that is to use an expansion slot and a

Re: Upgrading 400mhz Sawtooth

while the PCI bus IS slower than the system bus, it is NOT the limiting factor in data transfer to and from the HD. in a sawtooth, the PCI bus speed is 33 MHz and the data path is 64 bits wide. multiply (33,000,000 cycles/s) times (64 bits/cycle), and you get 2112 Mbits/s, and dividing by 8 (bits

Re: Upgrading 400mhz Sawtooth

unless you are going to use a new or nearly new drive, chances are very high that the drive itself, NOT the interface, will be what determines the speed of data transfer. older drives can be as low as >5 MB/s sustained internal transfer rate. only the newest drives will have sustained internal t

Re: Which is a faster option?

just one small point, to a certain extent, you're comparing apples and oranges, because IIRC, the QS/733 was one of the CPUs apple put out with no backside cache. that makes a big difference. again, IIRC, the DA/733s were much faster than the QS/733s for that very reason. On Sep 8, 5:17 pm, "Ma

f you like, but i'm buying a used G5 to for $500 to replace the one that died instead of a nehalem for $5000. i'll let all of the "smart" folks above shell out their money so they can claim to have the newest and best. ah...clem On Aug 14, 6:01 pm, Will S wrote: > Sorry, Sh

Re: AHA-2940U2

i have an Adaptec 2940U2B in a G4/933 QS 2002 running OSX.4.11 and it works flawlessly. the 2940U2B is essentially the same card as yours except it is Apple branded. so long as you have the MAC version and not a PC card that has been flashed, i'd say you should have no problems at all
