[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 396124, member: 8287"] Those are SATA (Serial ATA) drives. To use those with your machine you need a PCI SATA card that works with OSX. OWC has them. They are probably $70-$100. Your Mac takes IDE drives. Does your MDD read the full capacity of the 160GB IDE drives you have in it now? If so it should work with a 300GB IDE. What is the CPU speed on that MDD tower? All Mirror Drive Door (MDD) Macs should handle the larger hard drives. [/QUOTE]
