SSD (samsung 840EVO) on PowerMac G5

As far as I know, Samsung 840EVO is one of the compatible SSD for PowerMac G5 whereas only some models of SSD can work with PowerMac G5.  I bought and installed it for my PowerMac G5 (late2005 model).  The 840EVO, whose firmware was updated on WIN-PC, is very fast and quiet while PowerMac G5 has only SATA I.


I tried to run a benchmark but the standerd benchmark test of PPC-lubuntu couldn't work disappointingly. 

Then, the hdparm command was used for a quasi-benchmarking.

Expectedly, the speed of 840EVO on PowerMac G5 was only as SATA I.  However, I am satisfied with the present tweaking.
