Hello everybody,

After killing 2 iMac G5 last week-end... yes, I'm a G5 killer... I restart my PowerMac G5 2,7 GHz. I installed the SSD SATA of my iMac into it, swapped the graphic board and installed the X1950GT (or XT, I can't remember ^^).

After deleting the poseidon.prefs and copied the morphos.key, all seemed too be good but... The first data access on the SSD is very long. For example, if I launch IRIS, I'm waiting 10 sec or more before viewing the lauching window and the same when I click on "new mail". Same when I type a simple dir in a shell... 10 seconds or more before seeing something.

Same with thumbnails in a listview of Ambient or when I want to see a picture with ShowCase.

I tried to make a memtest extensive (reverse) but all is ok.

The HD is a SSD bought new and only used in the iMac with MorphOS.

If somebody got any idea, I take it !

Thx.

Did you run SFSDoctor?

Hi BatteMan,

what append when you start from CD? there is always 10sec?

Maybe reinstall MorphOS from the PowerMac G5?

You have installed on the first SATA port or the second?

It might be that your iMac cooked the SSD.

I had one in mine ever since the 1st beta supported it (so a few years) and in past few months I got rare to ever more frequent errors at start.
A few days ago I moved another SSD in there which gave 0 problem sofar.

I haven't found the time to check the old one for SMART status in a "modern" computer so I can only guess that it is combination of MorphOS not handling SSD health and extensive heat in the iTight_G5.

Maybe the adaptator SSD to SATA 3.5" is HS and the SSD is OK? I hope for you.

First of all, thank you for your help.

I tried SFSDoctor but every partition was OK.
I booted on the CD and made some copy from SSD to Ram: and then Ram: to SSD. First, it seemed to be ok, but after a few copies, the same problem appeared.
I installed the SSD without the adapter but same.

At last, I made a full copy of my SSD on my old and slow HD. The copy was veeeryyyy long. And, the SSD stalled all the access. I toke a grab of Task Manager and all portions with low CPU were when the copy stalled.

Hope my new HD will be more effective and I'll be able to use these beast at all its power !

Thx again !
