Hi,
I haven't been able to find a successful installation description of a SSD in a A1176 Mac Mini1,1. Can anybody confirm it is possible? Can you recommend any SSD model?
Thanks,
Igor.
Is dit een goede vraag?

An SSD drive is physically exactly the same as a regular SATA drive, with the same SATA connector. So as far as installation, there is nothing specific to SSDs, and you can therefore use the guide for installing a regular SATA into an A1176:

It's not a god idea to put the ssd where the optical drive is. That bus is very slow and will cripple your SSD speed. I believe the optical drive is on a PATA bus.

I just installed a ssd in my Mac mini with a 1.86GHz CPU.
It was very easy, the hardest part was taking off the top.
Once the ssd installed I just booted off my Snow Leopard DVD and done.
What problems are you having?
If you put your orignial HD into a USB enclosure you can hook it up and boot off of it first.
You will see the ssd as a attached drive in Disk utility program.
Format the ssd and install new OS.
