Howdy, I think either one would be fine. One reason I feel pretty confident is that many early SATA drives were really just IDE drives with SATA bridge chips. So, they were doing the same thing as these adapters. I have an 80 GB IDE drive in my G4. I'll just stick with it as long as it is doing fine and then I'll try one of these adapters. I keep a couple of spare adapters handy. I'd test one for you, but I don't have any spare SATA drives. Good luck, Ralph
