As the subject line says, I'm wondering if anyone has installed an SSD in
their G4? If so, would you please offer recommendations and comments on
how it performs?
2.5" SATA to PATA converters certainly exist (find them on eBay), but how
would one provide the "trim" function?
There is no need for the trim function. It is beneficial, but works
without it as well. It is said that SSDs with a SandForce controller
have a very good garbage collection algorithm, but I assume that every
modern SSD has a good one.
If the SSD is used without trim, it will rely on this garbage collection
only. If you don't shift huge masses of data around you should be good.
Make sure you keep some empty space for the controller to work with.
E.g. if the SSD has 120 GB, use only 100-110 GB of it by either
partitioning a smaller partition size than possible, or by making sure
that the filesystem is never completely full, i.e. at least 10-20 GB
should always be free space. The partition method is better without trim.
