Hello everybody,
I wanted to install an SSD in my iMac G5 2.1 iSight today ...
Unfortunately the SSD was not recognized, but I know from videos that they are.

Can you recommend one to me?
Do you also use one yourself?

Tested:
Code:

Crucial MX500 (240GB)       - Not Working
Intel SSD 320 (120GB)       - Working
SanDisk SSD Plus (240GB)    - Working
Intenso SSD (240GB)         - Working

best regards

The Power Macs are picky with SSD's. I used a Sandisk Plus SSD, as they are recommended for the Mac. The OWC's seem to be over rated a bit, but some people are using the OWC 3's with no problem. Again this is in the Power Macs, but I would bet it would be the same in the Imac. Good luck!

Thanks for the answer.

Yes, I've already heard that the SanDisk SSD's probably work in the iMac G5.

best regards

I'm using a Intenso JAJS600m256c 256 GB SSD in a Powermac G5.

Using a SanDisk here as well on my iMac 20" G5 iSight, works great.

I can't recall the model number as it was an old one I had lying around.

I also bought two 240GB Intenso SSDs by analogkid's earlier suggestion, and recently installed one of them to PowerMac G5/2.7GHz and it seems to work fine.

They're these (EAN matches with my package):

Intel SSD 320 working in my iSight without any problems

Hi,
I want to change my HD in my iSight too but I have a silly question : Is iSight have a SATA connector ?
If not, which adaptator do you use ?
Thx !

EDIT : Oups, got the answer. There is a SATA I port in iMac G5 iSight ! Sorry for disturbed you ;)

Kingston A400 SA400S37/480G works fine here with Powermac7,3
