I use a mSATA to IDE adapter that I buy in bulk. This is the Amazon available equivalent of it: https://amzn.to/48qEaOm
I use only 128 GB mSATA cards from reputable brands.
I always do the following:
- Boot from the Mac OS 9 Lives 9.2.2 image (v9 of the image) by CD
- Wipe the SSD using Disk Utilities 2.1
- Restore from the CD
I will say this fails perhaps 1 out of 20 times. Hard to say how often this is an actual hardware failure versus some kind of incompatibility with the mSATA SSD since I do use a range of brands. I am always using the same adapters.
