[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1473966, member: 42497"] As NIck advised one is SATA and the G4 is IDE hence the G5 drive will not fit straight in. It is possible to buy a SATA PCI card and hook up the G5 drive externally as Nick also suggested. From personal experience not really worth the cost of purchasing the card for use with the G4. Depending on the model G4, it will always be throttled by the 133MHz or 100MHz system bus speed. [/QUOTE]
