I don’t think that the Mac sees the ‘hybrid’ part of those disks; it just sees 
it as a SATA drive, the ssd part is managed by the on-board electronics. 

Does Disk utility show any SMART errors? I suspect it may be a flaky drive. You 
can also get a utility like this 
<https://www.volitans-software.com/apps/smart-utility/> which will give you 
better info than Disk Utility which simply tells you ‘errors have occured'

That said I don’t have any experience with those drives on Macs, let alone PPC 
macs…We’ve gotten them in a number of newer PC’s at work and haven’t had issues.
