G5 hard drive?

[AudioApe]

I am looking to add a second hard drive to my G5 dual 2.3Ghz. It is proving difficult to find SATA I drives. What SATA 2 or 3 drives will work, and will I need to buy different data cables?

Here's the place to shop:

Great, don't know why OWC didn't come up in my original search.
They had one good choice left in the garage sale section.
Now, if I can only figure out how to transfer all the stuff I have on external SCSI drives without a $300 card. Maybe if I network to my old G3?
Thanks

That's the ticket!

Or if the G3 has USB…you could use a USB stick to transfer stuff to the G5 (or an external USB hard drive).

Thanks
I think I'll go with the network, they already talk to each other to share the printer.
The only thing I never figured out is that the SCSI drives only show up every so often in the choices of volumes to mount when I connect to the G3 as a server (B&W G3, rev2 with Adaptec SCSI card.)
