Check your G5 model...
You still need to get a controller card for this, right?
I'm going to be doing this soon and and have a few questions:
Does this get around the 300gb HDD limit?
Has anyone had any over heating problems with this set up?
Where is the best place to get a controller card?
Hey,
the setup mentioned above is just the mounting you'll need for more HD's.
I always thought the G5 has the SATA already. Meybe the early G5s didn't ??
Anyways, by using SATA card, you can use now SATA HD instead of the old ATA 100 Bus standard. This indeed eliminates HD restrictions. By using SATA you also have access to a lot faster drives, especially the 10K Raptor 150G dirve. Having this a start dirve is pretty nice setup.
Regarding model or brand, I would go with Sonnet or Seritk.
