[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 940576, member: 8287"] I have never seen any limit mentioned either. I would check with OWC and see what hard drives they recommend for your machine as that will probably show you if there is any Limit. Only thing I can think of is the controller in the older Power Mac G5 is probably SATA 1.5 and not the newer SATA 3.0. If you run into problems with a new drive, look up the jumper specs for the new SATA drive and put a 1.5 Jumper on it.
