    In my G5 Quad works a Samsung Evo 850. Works like a charm. The Evo 850 is pretty fast and Leopard is very stable.

    Hmm, OK.
    Unfortunately this OWC drive is quite expensive.
    Cost more than double as current SATA III devices.





    Well, you could try to find an SATA2 SSD that works in your system.
    The drive Danica mentioned is an option, but it doesn't seem to work for everyone.
    Price is a primary reason I'm still using conventional drives, but some OWC resellers prices (while not competitive with a cheap SATA3 SSDs) aren't too bad.

    SATA3 will work just not as full speed. I am using a Samsung 512GB SSD in mine with no problems at all.

    I had tried an "Intenso 256GB SSD SATAIII" but it didn't work although it has SATA 1.5GB compatibility.

    I guess there is almost no better place than this thread to inform about the exact product name and/or part number :-)

    Cool, if a second user could verify that, I'd be thrilled, because SATA2 drives just aren't coming down into the range SATA3 drives sell for (and that OWC failure kind of bugs me - warranty or no).

    I can confirm that a Samsung Evo 850 works.

    Cool. On the high end in terms of price, but known working...that's a good thing.
    I've been stumbling around trying these out myself.

    So my first SSD on an X64 worked, but failed.
    My first SSD on a G5, an OWC, worked but failed prematurely.

    And with this...I have a candidate for my third SSD.

    I can save the cheap SATAIII drives for my X64 laptop.
