I'm looking to do a RAID 1 with two Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s hard drives on an old PowerPC G5. From what I understand, this machine does not support SATA II. However, SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I, so in theory this should work, it will just be slightly slower.
Does anyone have any experience with this? The G5 Specs are below.
