I want to upgrade my 17" Powerbook G4 (running MacOS 10.4.11 on 1.5GHz, 2GB RAM, 160 GB HDD (IDE/PATA)) - with, for example, a 250GB mSATA or M.2 (SATA) SDD (60-80 EUR), and a suitable adapter 44-pin (Mini-IDE) to mSATA (<10 EUR) or to M.2 (around 20 EUR).
Is there a potential problem which I should consider in more detail using an SSD, especially non-IDE, in such an old Powerbook? Could there be a problem with fast wearing out of the SSD with any wrong SSD management by MacOS 10.4 (or 10.5)?
