I have one of the older power mac G5s (1.8 GHZ, single proc). It has two slots for SATA drives. Will just any old SATA drive work, or do I need a mac specific one. I've found some really good deals on SATA drives at places like newegg (129 bucks for 500gb). They say SATA, 3.0gbps. Will these work?

Any sata should work.
