Hi. I just installed a new Hitachi E7K1000 1GB HD into my Powermac G5. I then found out my Powermac only uses drives at the 1.5GB transfer speed rate... i checked the specs for the hitachi drive at OWC and it says it is 3.0GB, not a 1.5/3.0GB hybrid. Could this cause trouble? The drive seems to be working fine so far... but does this mean this hitachi drive is not compatible with my mac??? Please help!!!

No, the SATA-II standard (3.0Gb/sec) is backward-compatible with the SATA-I standard (1.5Gb/sec).
No problems at all. You just won't see SATA-II speeds, since your SATA controller is SATA-I.
