I tried outting a SSD in mine, but it run hiccups... so I bought a new 
spinning rust HD and that one works fine. Still a performance gain and 
also, plenty of space to build all those packages on 10.5 since there 
are no binaries :) So it is a lot of hit and miss with SSD and 
controllers.... especially on older machines which do not get any longer 
BIOS upgrades.
In my case the disk was especially recommended by crucial for my Mac, 
but sometimes it just almost froze the computer requiring a reboot... 
super-slow. Either after high usage (swap) or sleep.
Put in aMacBook Pro which has the *same* SATA controller, but surely 
different firmware, OS, etc.. it works.

I just leave it overnight and I usually get the package installed.
