Will this retrieve data off of a IMAC G5 20" (2003 model) hard drive, SATA 3.5 7200 rpm?

I am not positive, but holds any of my hard drives without an issue. Pretty simple setup.

Assuming the hard drive is functional, yes. I just used it to retrieve old data for a relative.

I do not have personal experience with Mac hardware, but it should. It is a 2.5" SATA drive. Typically the only concern with swapping out these drives is making sure the new drive is no thicker than the OEM drive. HDD's <=750GB are I think usually 9.5mm thick, while larger capacities require another platter so will be thicker. You should be able to substitute any <=750GB 2.5" SATA drive. This site will assist with your upgrade. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/130

Not unless the USB 3.0 device also has FireWire 800 ports, such as the Oyen Mini-Pro. But then, why not connect the drive directly to a USB 3.0 port on your iMac? It will even work if you connect it to a USB 2.0 port, if your iMac doesn't support USB 3.0, but that will reduce the speed of the drive considerably. Either go straight FW *or* USB 3.0 - you can't do both.

What he's asking for is to hook up the drive and look at the device list where it will list out the model of the drive inside the enclosure. On a Mac, check Apple menu -> About this Mac -> More Info... -> System report -> Storage -> look under "Physical Drive". On Windows, probably in the Device Manager somewhere.

No, I don't think so. This memory is used on HP servers and is 240 pin.I believe your iMac uses 200 pin memory.

The first thing you have to do is to make sure that the drive is set to the format your MAC uses. It should work perfectly fine.

Hi Walter. This drive works on 3.5 disks. It worked very well reading my old 3.5 floppies when attached to my iMac and my PC.

Yes. It works with any computer that uses SATA interface. You will need to format it to work with the Mac OS.

This is a hard drive meant to be installed in a server or Network Attached Storage. For performance sake, I would suggest getting a WD Black drive instead. That being said it should work just the same as this is a 3.5" hard drive, which is what is in this version of iMac.

I would say no since the latest drives I could find were for Power PC. It looks to be pretty dated drivers for the Mac.

I cannot answer that question, I use my G Drive as a backup only for my MAC. Sorry.

It should. I have connected this drive to an older PowerPC iMac running 10.5.8, and I am currently using it as a backup destination for Time Machine on a 2012 Macbook Pro, running 10.8.5. The Canvio completed a full backup in about half the time as a 5400 RPM drive that I had previously used for Time Machine backups. As with any new drive used for Time Machine, it needs to be re-formatted before use.

If the hard drive inside the iMac is mounted using side screws, it will work. You have to check that.

Yes, it should work with no problems. The USB port on the cable is standard size, and it's backward-compatible for previous USB versions. You won't see the speed advantage because your older iMac probably won't support the newer USB transfer speeds, but it should still work with it.

I Don't know for sure, but if your imac is sata2 then any sata2 will work if it will fit in it.
