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. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
