Description: Sonnet's Tempo Bridge board makes it a snap to use a parallel ATA drive in your G5. Serial ATA offers greater performance than parallel ATA and uses smaller cables and connectors (instead of ribbon cables) for better cooling, but is not directly compatible with parallel ATA. If you need to use a parallel drive in your SATA-based computer, install a Tempo Bridge and make it compatible!The Tempo Bridge was engineered specifically for the Power Mac G5, but works in almost any computer with a Serial ATA interface. The board's design solves issues unique to the G5: it enables the user to mount a 3.5-inch parallel ATA drive in the G5's drive mounting bay and secure it with the computer's built-in latch, and directly connect the G5's short SATA data and power cables. Take the Tempo Bridge path to add a spare drive to your new G5!Installation is simple: just slide a parallel ATA drive into your G5, plug the Tempo Bridge board into the drive, and then connect the computer's SATA power and data cables to the Tempo Bridge. The Tempo Bridge is compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications, ATA 5 and ATA 6 specifications, and features a data transfer rate of up to 150MB/s. Minimize
