    Looked into page links, one no longer functions, so can't compare content there.

    eBay link worked, can't say zip about the brand king-spec, it may be OK, or not.

     

    There product example here, says it should work in a variety of older spec Mac

    & other earlier ATA/IDE products, a 2.5" SSD of a certain quality. Not as cheap.

    They may show you more in their video on how to install such a thing; OWC

    also offer services to do that for their customers should they want that done.

     

    There should be an iFixit.com guide, too, for basic HDD replacement instruction.

     

    I can't recommend any, however there have been noted problems in some ASC

    discussion areas where users installed their own & found issue in how it was done.

    Sometimes a cable or other part, defective or damaged, causes a problem.

     

    Perhaps a search engine may yield more commentary and reveal critical facts.

    Good luck & happy computing!
