Why do you not replace the SSD that works with SATA-1 (1.5g)? the PNY
does only Sata2 or 3. Just check for the SATA 1.5 support (I checked
Samsung for the 850 EVO and accoding to http://www.samsung.com/semicond
uctor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/850evo.html tha drive is backward
compatible with SATA 1.5).

Now if you want to replace the controller, check what chip it uses and
see if that is supported by Linux. I think most are nowadays....
