    G4 resurrected

    The holes in the new drive did not match the holes in the drive bracket, but a minute with a drill fixed that.

    I would recommend this product to a friend!

    Not iMac G3 compatible

    The SSD itself is fine but the StarTech adapter I received was faulty and would not work with my Rev D 333MHz iMac G3. Had to buy a different adapter.
