Resolved Need some advice on SATA

[jbarley]

I currently run my dual MDD using an SSD connected via ide/sata bridge card, and it runs well.
Would I see a noticeable improvement if I installed a Sonnet Tempo SATA card and used that with my SSD?
The Sonnet claims it will boot from any drive connected to it and is compatible with Power Mac G4.

I don't know about noticeable, but it should be a decent upgrade. I would weigh it against the cost of the Tempo card. If the price is right, then definitely do it! I wish I could do that to my Cube.

It's similar to using a SATA 3 SSD with older SATA I/II chipsets. Most of the benefits of the SSD come with the near-zero access times, most of the time it's not doing really fast sequential transfers.

I've swapped SSDs from SATA I to SATA 3 controllers and not noticed any difference in OS load times etc.

If it's a cheap upgrade then go ahead, but I wouldn't spend much on it.
