Hey everyone,
I opened a similar post on the great MacOS9Lives forum (which I recommend by the way)
But I'd like to benefit from the 68Kmla wisdom as my problem is more "vintage computing" than Macos9 related, I think.
I'm replacing the stock 8GB IDE hard disk drive of my PB G3 PDQ ( 300Mhz ) with a flash memory solution, and get nothing but incompatibilities (and frustrations)
I've tried
Reading and "light" usage seems to work, until it doesn't. It's just unreliable and pretends to work really. What is obviously super weird is that I get the same problem with 3 completely different technologies !
Switching back to spinning IDE hd drive solves all problems.
Is there like a known working brand , a known working solution ?
Is there a reason for this behavior (i've seen mention of using "advanced" IDE features like multi sector),
Did anyone else see this problem before ?
thanks !

I've tried
- IDE to SD card, with $18 adapter + Sandisk Extreme SD
- IDE to CF, with transcend card, then transcend industrial card (not cheap) that usually solve all my incompatibilities problems in the PC world
- ID to SSD nvme, with a nice 2,5 adapter than takes a small form nvme SSD to IDE.
