SSD in a PowerMac G5? I have a PowerMac G5 and I want to install a SSD 128GB. I do have two Hard Discs (160GB and 500GB).

It's probably formatted GUID which the Intel will recognize but the G5 won't. The G5 Power PC processor will see the Apple Partition Map type of format.

Added PNY XLR8 120GB SSD in second drive bay of my Power Mac G5 Dual Core 2.3GHz. Works perfectly and can boot from it. Boot time is marginally faster (7 seconds faster) than the original 7200 RPM HD, but apps and files load incredibly faster than the stock HD. With 3.5 adapter came to $65. Breathed new life into an old workhorse.
