So I have this old MacBook from 2010 whose internal HDD can be swapped. Because the old HDD died, I bought a cheap 1TB SSD and threw it in there. Not even a brand I know or anything but I really just needed some storage in it to actually…be a usable thing. While browsing the depths of Youtube, I discovered SD to SATA converters and even whole microSD RAID 0 to SATA cards and that got me thinking:
Which SD card spec (SD, SDHC, SDXC) and class would actually satisfy SATA2 to a point where I could consider dropping that into my MacBook and using the – actually SATA3 capable – SSD in my desktop?
Even my older Mac Mini Server from 2007 seems to only do SATA2 but has two internal ports. It’s only use is to act as a local server and be tunneled through a remote server through SISH. Thus, it does not need a ton of storage.
I know that there are SD to SATA2 adapters out there, but I am just not sure what type of SD card I would have to go shopping for in order to make this (admittedly really stupid) idea work.
Thank you in advance! ^.^
