Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250gb

I need a second drive for my G5 and i'm have three choices...

1. Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250Gb Serial ATA II (3.0Gb/s) 7200 rpm 16Mb

2. Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250Gb Serial ATA 150 7200 rpm 16 Mb

3. Western Digital 250Gb 8Mb SATA 150 (the standard HD that comes with the G5)

My G5 2.7 Dual Processor is the standard out of the box machine and i would like to know if my first option will give me that data rate without any other upgrades and wether it's compatible or not, if i get only the SATA 150 speed of the first using a jumper it will be fine since later on i plan on buying more upgrades and will be abble to get that speed up, for now i'm just concerned will it mount the drive with or without a jumper.

PowerMac G5 2 x 2.7 GHz - 2500 MB RAM, Mac OS X (10.4.5)
