Can WD Green drives use SATA I?

I know some SATA II drives can be jumpered to be SATA I compatible. Would they be reliable in this application? I have an iMac G5 and I'd like to upgrade the internal HD.

    Of course. You shouldn't have to mess with a jumper, that is only necessary with some crappy old VIA SATA controllers.

    Will there be any problem with 1TB+ drives on the iMac G5 (Rev B)?

    Shouldn't be a problem... but I don't have an iMac, so I can't make any guarantees.
