Can anyone recommend a specific device they've observed to work on a G4 Mac mini? (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CL5KHL https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087CL5KHL and https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z67GX6W https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Z67GX6W together did not work. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QN9STY7 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QN9STY7 and a random SATA drive did not work and did not fit)

- giantrobot 4y agoThere used to (maybe still are) PATA SSDs from a brand called King Spec on Amazon that I have used in a number of machines. I have used them in a G3 PowerBook (Lombard), a Sony VAIO laptop, and an IBM ThinkPad. These are all just for funsies machines so I make no claims of those drives' reliability. I don't have any irreplaceable data on any of those drives.
- duffyjp 4y agoThe eBay listings are long gone, but in 2019 I ordered an adapter and a cheap used Samsung sata m.2 and they work perfectly in my G4 Mac Mini. The SSD listing descriptions were: * "2 Pack M.2 NGFF SATA SSD to 2.5 inch IDE 44PIN Converter Adapter with Case" * "256GB SATA-III Solid State Drive M.2 2280 Samsung PM871 MZ-NLN2560 Lenovo SSD"
