We are talking laptop-style hard drives, not desktop ones. Also, i don't think a PCI card will work in a mini ;)

I Have a 500GB WD PATA hard drive in my G4 MDD Dual 1.25 Power Mac Along with 2 Seagate 250 GB PAPTA. I would have to buy a card to put SATA drives in the machine.

I think if you have 2 HDDs in that machine the PATA should be jumpered to cable select. If you connect the 500 via Firewire does the machine see it?
