Hi, I own one of the last MDDs, a 1.25GHz dual processor machine. My system is 10.4.11. Since my normal bootdisk, a WD 1TB SATA developed some bad blocks I bought a new harddisk to boot from, a Seagate SSHD ST2000DX001 2TB, a hybrid with 8GB of SSD memory.
It's placed alongside my old WD in the ATA 100 cage, both HDs are connected via SATA to ATA adapters. It is a little faster than my WD green and adapts "intelligently" to the user. My first startup took much longer than the second and the disk booted even faster the third time. But I experienced three crashes in three days after the purchase. The crash happened always with three apps running, TenFourFox with about twelve windows/tabs open, Vuze downloading a movie and watching a low-res video in QuickTime. I always keep two recent CCC-clones so I always can boot my Mac but I wonder what causes these crashes - the only thing that moves is the beachball. One time I could still open the force quit window but it wouldn't work anyway. Could it be there are some issues Tiger has with hybrid disks or SSD? I like the drive, it's fast, not expensive (97 €) and comes with a five year warranty.
