    Sata2 hard drive compatibility

    this is a response i got from seagate support... "The G5 Doesn’t support SATA II, so therefore the Drive must have the SSC turned off, and in some cases, be jumpered down to 1.5 Gb/sec. After this is done, then the drive functions normally."

    Sata2 hard drive compatibility

    Hello. I'm looking for a new hard drive and after waiting for sata2/300, the SEAGATE BARRACUDA 300GB SATA2/300 7200RPM 16MB is my main suspect. Does anyone know if its compatible with G5's? particularly the dual 1.8's or older versions. Thanks
