Q: Recommend a Hard Drive for PowerMac G5

Hi David,

It needs to be SATA I compatible & under 2.2 TB to be bootable, 10.5.8 will handle the new bigger Advanced Format sectors...

Sorry, there was never a Dual 1.6, & no 1.6s in 2005, there were Dual 1.8s in 2004 though.

Any of these 2 TB or less should work in any G5 PowerMac...

Then a bigger drive will work if Partitioned GUID scheme.

In Disk Utility. I beleive its an option in Partition tab.
