SSDs, Solid State Drives are faster than traditonal hard drives and increase the speed of computers, whether old or new. The vast majority of SSDs use he SATA coonection, so the computers need to be fairly modern.

PowerMac G4s can use the Sonnet internal SATA adapter. It may be considered throwing good money after bad, but this will boot the G4 in either OSX or Linux, and it eliminates the 128GB drive limit of the G4 and allow an SSD startup drive.

It is often worthwhile to get products from Amazon because you don't pay sales tax and can often take advantage of the super saver shipping, which is generally available and free.

It is also better in case returns are necessary because Amazon usually has exemplary customer service.

And it is even better for Macs Plus. We get a small percentage but don't have to find the best source (that can take well over an hour), deal with the shipping, stick a profit margin on it, lose some money to credit card transactions and hope that nothing goes wrong for the next year. Most products in this business are very low margin.

There are some exceptions to this rule, and they will be displayed on this page as they become available.
