Hi Everyone,
I've gone "backwards" in my Mac ownership, as I started with a Intel Macbook Pro and have recently taken an interest in Power PC systems.
I have a Powermac G5 that I'm currently using as my desktop. The hard drive seems to be the current bottleneck in its performance, and it also is making enough noise that I'm afraid the drive may be on its way out.
So, with that in mind, I'm shopping for an upgrade. I'm probably looking for something around 1TB and don't mind to pay for a good quality drive, but at the same time don't want to waste money paying for speeds that the computer can't take advantage of.
I'm also considering possibly a smaller capacity SSD for the boot drive(maybe around 60gb) and then a 1TB drive as the second drive. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this combination, as well.
My computer is a Powermac G5 7,2, and has a single 1.8ghz processor as well as PCIx .
Could anyone point me toward any particular models of HDD that would suit my needs and be a good fit for the G5?
