G5 compatible SATA PATA adapter

By kurisu. Original by Lionel - 10/09/2004 07:24:08 CEST - Category: Hard Drive
A reader from XLR8yourmac managed to successfully use a SATA/PATA adapter in his G5 Dual 2.5 GHz. This interface makes it possible to use an ATA hard drive in a G5. The Seriller L2 from Asus works as advertised, even after waking up the computer from sleep. Though you need a spare Molex connector to power the drive.
If you really intend to put an ATA (IDE) drive in your G5, we would like to direct you to a (in our opinion) better solution, proposed by Jefftrep, which was featured here about a year ago:

By replacing the IDE connector of the optical drive by a double one, it is possible to hook up and install an ATA drive above it.
