PowerBook G4 RAID 0 SSD how to and performance
In this silent video, I replace the optical drive with a mSATA disk, using a mSATA to PATA adapter, and then install that into the optical drive bay.
Afterwards, I replace the hard drive with a OWC Legacy Pro SSD, run performance tests and come to my conclusions.
