G5Jam Express™ 
USER’S MANUAL 
Revised September 26, 2006 
 
 
Features  
 
• Compatibility – G5Jam Express is the only G5Jam 
product compatible with the new dual-core G5 Power 
Macs.   
• Expands your storage options – G5Jam Express 
allows you to add two more drives inside your dual-core 
G5, for a total of four drives inside. Video editors and 
photographers will use G5Jam Express to RAID their new 
drives in software for stunning mountable volume sizes 
and read/write speeds (over 220MB/s!) 
• Easy to install – It only takes minutes to install G5Jam 
Express into a dual-core G5.   
• Cool design – There's a lot of air flow in the dual-core 
G5s, but we still all worry about heat - especially with 
hard drives. G5Jam Express takes advantage of the 
excellent airflow inside the dual-core G5. With the G5Jam 
Express, there's plenty of cooling space for air circulation 
between the new drives, and heat dissipates through the 
mounting plate.

Hard disk drives may be purchased with the G5Jam or may be purchased separately.  For best performance, 
matching drives are recommended.  Using drives with different brands and/or capacities will result in a loss of 
performance and total RAID volume capacity.
