Good morning - I received my refurbished 2012 MacPro and was disappointed that the hard drives were not interchangeable with the drives in my 2008 MacPro.

I am now shopping for a new internal HD of MAC G5; previous HD died. I have decided on a Western Digital and was about to order one when I became alarmed by the SATA II listings.

My Mac Pro manual says that the hard drives "must meets these specifications" - SATA 3GB/s (commonly called SATA II i believe). There's no mention of compatibility with SATA I - anyone know anything about that?

I installed a second SATA drive in my Mac Pro G5. I cannot get it to be recognized. In Disk Utility it does not show up. However, when I do a System Profile (About this Mac), the SATA section shows it being there, but just with minimal info compared to the other SATA drive, which has been...

I did a stupid thing. I got a great deal on an external HD enclosure. Such a good deal in fact that I bought 2 of them with the idea of putting my two 500 GB SATA drives from my Quad G5 into them ( I'm replacing the G5's original drives with new 750 GB drives). When I received the...

Hello, this may sound like a really stupid question, but does it make a difference in system performance if the start-up drive is in the upper or lower bay? Recently added a Seagate Baracuda 7200rpm, 16MB cache 400gb drive to my G5 (dual 2ghz), and it seems like it's running a little slower...
