AFAIK it's not a G5 thing. I've used an old G5 for a couple years, with two
drives in it, and never got any SMART notice.
Besides, and more important, I never heard of any significant amount of
SMART messages about G5s.
Since you checked those drives in Ubuntu, they're probably fine, but I
wouldn't use them on anything critical before finding where the problem is.
Most likely, the problem is in your G5.
It could be software-related (some part of the OS got flaky), or
hardware-related (the drive controller or something).
You can try the following:
- Create another user account, switch to it, try again inserting the HDs.
- If you have another partition available, or another drive to insert,
install OSX anew and boot from it: if the problem is software related, it
should disappear.
You could even use one of those drive to install OSX anew on it: if
everything works, it's likely the drive is fine.
