Also known as a 1.8" LIF/ZIF Solid State drive.
Uses a Sandisk 1.8" 16GB Solid State drive. Connected to a LIF/ZIF to 44-pin IDE Connector (provides data and power).
I routinely max out the internal 16.7MB/s ATA-3 Bus. Doesn't support SMART though.
But here's the pics:
This is the machine I scored off of eBay, unfortunately, it was advertised as having a 100Mhz FSB, which would have made it a Pismo, but it was in fact a Lombard (the guy didn't really realise what it was)
That's ok, I am getting a Pismo in the mail with a trade to another member (Thanks man!)
Anyways, this is the SSD hooked up:
Anyways, the drive's supposed specs are 35MB/s Read, 17MB/s write. After testing, I concluded if it does 256KB random write, I can actually max the controllers (with MacBench 4.0 under OS 9, I have scored 15,367KB/s)
it's really helps too! I have 10.4 optimized on the system. OS 9 (which resides on a 350MB partition) boots from chime to desktop in about 9 seconds (yup! it's that quick!) 10.4 in about 1:30 to desktop after chime.
I used XPostFacto, I have 10.4 with some data and apps occupying about 2.6GB, but am going to continue hacking away at it trimming down stuff (like printers/fonts/languages)
The machine has the following specs:
400Mhz Lombard w/ 1MB L2, 66Mhz FSB
USB 1.1, HDI-30 SCSI, Ethernet/Modem/Sound-in/out/IRDA, PC-Card.
512MB (well, 256MB + 512MB High-Density, this will go in the Pismo). 16GB SanDisk ZIF with adapter)
24x16x24 (CD-RW) 8x4x8 (DVD-+RW) and DVD-RAM 2x 2008 Slot-load superdrive0
Lucent WaveAccess Wifi. DVD-Decorder Card. ATI Rage LT 8MB VRAM PCI Video card (internal) 14" LCD.
It's a nice machine.
