PM G4 933 with PCI SATA card.

My SATA card (Seri-Tek1S2) has internal and external connections. The internal connection is connected to a 500 GB Seagate drive and seems to be working great for almost a year now. My first question - Why doesnt the drive show up in the System Profiler? The card shows up on the "PCI Cards" but no drive shows up in the "Serial ATA" or anywhere? Can I fix this?

Second question - I am going to use the external SATA connection to connect to an external enclosure - strictly for back-up. I am going to use a Seagate drive because I still have good luck with them. Is it better to use one of the new "green" Barracuda 5900 rpm drives or the standard 7200 Barracuda drives (that I have been using for years)?
