Ive Recently Bought a Second Hand 2007 Mac For Light Use
its an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHZ In Black
Though Its Running Rather Slow , Ive Been Advised To Get An SSD
Though Ive Been Told Sata III Could Bug Out In These Older Macs
Does Anyone Have A Solution To The Issue
As I Really Wanna Make This Mac Faster
The SATA III version isn't directly compatible with older MacBook series;
but some build versions could see a SATA III, backward compatible to v. II.

• Upgrades Guaranteed to work with your Mac - by OWC
Note this link ^ can be useful to find most upgrade parts for Macs.
Of these examples, the best possible of compatible product is OWC's.
See their 'installation instruction videos' they're free to use.
And once adapted for use, the format should remain HFS+ ~ While set
to use 'Trim' with SSD, is a usual instruction; for these to work with Mac.
Other models may differ a bit, from your build year model compatibility.
Good luck & happy computing!🌞🎣
I agree with @K Shaffer's suggestion for an OWC Mercury Electra 3G SSD as the best option for compatibility on such an old laptop. As far as TRIM on an OWC SSD, OWC has said that TRIM is not needed.
