[QUOTE="ArthurEGoodwin, post: 1603096, member: 332498"] Specifically in the case of my G4, the information will help inform me as to which RAID card I end up installing (or not installing) in my machine. And, yes, I know my G4 is old. But it still works quite well for what it is being used for (it is the company's internal email server as well as used occasionally to access archived company documents that use some truly ancient programs) so I don't see any need to spend serious money on a replacement yet. But I had four old, but perfectly functional 50GB SLC SSDs come to me that would work in the G4 quite well (but would be too slow for our newer machines), especially if I can RAID them. I also have a G3 blue and white that is still in service as well (it has the company database using OS 8.6 and is also used to access a lot of company records that are still on iomega zip disks), powered up continuously 24/7 for over 17 years (except for some brief periods during moves) and never once a problem with it (literally not once in all that time has the machine frozen up).
