Hi everyone!
I have a crazy idea working in my head... I just want to try an SSD in my MDD.
ATM I have a flashed Sil3112 PCI SATA card that's working flawlessly with an old 250GB SATA-II hard drive, which has my OS and everything I need on my Mac. I also used that drive on my G5 before it died. I didn't have to jumper any pins to make it work with SATA-I interface in both machines.
My question now is: would a SATA-III SSD (like this: http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00A35X6GM/ref=twister_B00LN5W0IQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 MODs: not my sale) work with the SATA-I interface on my card? I know I can forget TRIM etc, I just want to try it. I'll be putting the SSD into my 2009 iMac to replace my dead WD drive soon.
Another question: which is the best application to benchmark the R/W speed of my current HDD?
Thank you!
