[Cube] Cube and SSD

Thanks for the heads-up on the tough fit.  As the SSDs val in price I've been giving consideration to doing the same.

Subject: [Cube] Cube and SSD


If there is anyone still out there in Cube Land, I have successfully just put a 
120GB SSD in my trusty Cube in place of a 128GB HD, which is now mounted in an 
external USB box.. The SSD was supplied with an SATA to ATA adapter by OWC. It 
was not the easiest thing to fit, simply because the sled to which it was 
affixed was not really meant for a Cube HD slot. The card plus sled simply sits 
at an angle resting inside the drive bay. This also further reduces load on the 
VRM.

My Cube already had a dual 1.5GHz CPU (PowerLogix from OWC) and a DVD-R 
(Matshita UJ-815) so it seemed worth a last hurrah! that was also not too 
expensive and keeps the machine useful. I still use it with an HP Scanjet 
scanner that I can’t transfer to a new Mac Pro.  Start-up time is amazing, too.
