The ATA/100 vs 133 is not an issue at all. No need to buy new modules, you can easily replace the drive inside the existing module with any standard IDE/PATA drive. Only the <a href="/blog/2007/10/19/apple-firmware-hard-drives-use-with-xserve-g5-hardware-raid-pci-card/" rel="nofollow">G5 Xserve Hardware RAID cards</a> have shown any pickiness over the drives installed. And thanks! You can definitely use them in all G4 Xserves.

They have Ultra ATA/133 drives. The first bay is a 60GB, the other three are 175GB IBMs All original and we really want to replace them before they die. Found a couple new drive modules but $600/each vs $125 for a drive? Would rather mount new drives to the module. Thanks for any assistance. btw, awesome blog.
