What SSD to use with an SATA controller in a G4?

[wnlewis]

I have an SATA controller in my G4.

I would like to know some SSD's that could boot both 9 and 10.

Even though the G4 is speed challenged due to the bus, I want to buy an SSD that could be used in a faster machine as well and do a good job.

128 Gb limitation does not apply.

Thanks, wnlewis

An SSD is just a storage device. Performance profile differs from an HD, but that's about it. Bootability (in 9 or X) depends on the controller. What controller card are you using?

I have a similar setup in a G4 cube with an adaptor and I can confirm that it treats SSD's via an adapter the same as the original HD. Just plug and play.

I am using a Firmtek / Seritek 1V4 which is working quite well and is trouble free in either OS 9 or OS 10.

The Samsung EVO series of SSD's look like they might work, but I would like to find out if anyone has had experience with them.
