[Early Access] What's Actually Inside This PATA SSD From Amazon?
Added 2023-02-25 05:50:09 +0000 UTCHello Patreon friends! I spent way too much on a sketchy IDE SSD from Amazon. Is it really what it claims to be? And how does it compare to other SSD solutions for old IDE machines?

That's definitely going to be why dosdude1's drive outperforms the kingspec one. More NAND chips means the controller can spread the load and take advantage of parallel operations.

The Sonnet card is the key with its bump from the Power Mac's built-in ATA-100. The Sonnet Tempo Trio offers the same ATA-133 plus FW & USB, but those are rare cards indeed. Both are bootable in OS 9 and X.
