Customer Reviews
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!

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you were able to resurrect your G4 with our drive! We appreciate your resourcefulness in adapting the drive bracket—sometimes a little DIY ingenuity is all it takes! We're glad you made it work and hope you enjoy your upgraded setup! Your feedback helps us continue to improve!
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.
