Hi everyone,

I've just purchased my first mac off ebay and I'm pretty stoked! It's a single processor G5 Powermac 1.8GHz model (M9555LL/A) and I noticed on the apple specs page that the maximum disk size that the G5 will support is a 250GB SATA drive - is this absolutely correct? I was hoping to throw in 2x500GB SATA disks or even 320GB SATA's :(

The apple specs page can be found here:

Can someone please confirm if this is correct?

Many thanks in advance,

John

There's no size limitation with SATA drives. You can easily put bigger drives in that PowerMac.
Apple's spec pages usually are made when the computer comes out, and aren't updated, and 250GB was pretty much the biggest SATA drive back then.
