Thanks https://PCBWay.com - The PowerMac G4 MDD comes with some of the fastest IDE available on Macs: ATA-100. Using a cheap IDE to SATA adapter results in blazing fast performance. But, can we push our speeds even further with a dedicated PCI to SATA controller card, flashed for Mac?

Also, is buying a pre-flashed SATA card from eBay worth it? Let's find out together!
