    Thanks Zetec, so only the old stuff. Too bad no modern fast controllers.

    Hmm, I remember having a similar problem with an SSD seemingly not being fully compatible to old G5 SATA-1 controller. A Samsung SSD Pro/Evo (?), don't remember which exact model it was. On the MorphOS side swapping around seemed to work for some time, on Linux I got SATA bus errors and r/w errors after some time... After I switched to some Sandisk SSD Plus (series recommended here in the forum several times) this problem disappeared completely.


    Does Morphos support any 3rd party SATA controllers?


    Taken from https://www.morphos-team.net/hardware;

    SiI3x12 two-port cards
    SiI3x14 four-port cards
    SiI3132 PCI Express SATA controllers
    On-board SATA on X5000
    On-board SATA on PowerMac G5





    What SSD are you using? I believe I read it was a OWC, but which model?

    I've just fitted a OWC Mercury Electra 3G in my G5 PCIe and its working perfectly under MorphOS.



    I bought a OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G.



    I think that might be your issue as OWC seem to recommend using a 3G on a Power Mac G5.
