Hi all,
this is a somewhat embarrassing question. Anyways...
I happen to be the one who takes care of the computers in our office but I'm not too knowledgeable about Macs and am actually not so much of a hardware guy in general.
So, we have 2 G5 Macs, both from around 2004, and we desperately need to add another HDD in each of them. It looks like those machines requiere SATA drives but I fail to see how they're plugged in. I see the current HD and DVD drives plugged in to the motherboard but no more free plugs for more drives. Unless I'm missing something.
Could someone please tell me if those SATA drives can be daisy chained or how I can plug in more HDDs?
I attached 2 images with the (almost identical) open machines. Those are SATA drives, right? But how/where do I plug in another drive in the case?
Thanks for help.
Cheers.
