iMac G5 Hard Drive Replacement

I searched for a thread on this topic but found nothing. If there is one then please direct me to it.



I will be needing to replace my hard drive in my iMac G5 2.0 2GHz 20" pretty soon and wonder which drive is recommended. Is there is a recommended limit on the size, suggested rpm rate or interface issue I need to deal with with? For example, I was just on web site and saw a Seagate 1 TB SATA 3Gbps 7200 rpm and a Western Digital (which I believe is the manufacturer of the HD currently in my system) Caviar GP WD10EACS 1TB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s. Are these suitable for my system? If not, where would I go to find compatible hard drives?



Any guidance would be appreciated.
