"I use an mSATA SSD and an adapter in my PowerBook5,9."
"Solid state storage is a good choice for heat management."
"The 120GB SATA m.2 SSD is a great upgrade."
"I use SDs in my SCSI machines because that's what's available. CF works REALLY well but I only have them up to 32GB."
"After updating the driver using the Tiger installer, the clamshell iBook dual-booted with no issues."
"The physical hard disk works fine and I don't care about losing the data."
"The CF card provides a faster reboot compared to the original hard drive."
"If I did it today, I would have chosen an m.2 SSD with an adapter."
"The SD adapter seems unstable."
"The data bus of a vintage mac is going to be the bottleneck in most cases."

"Never had an issue with the Samsung T5 drives."
"I have T5's as my go-to for big jobs."
"Do not buy the T7's, they have compatibility issues with the BMPCC cameras."
