If you have a current G5, you can find out which drive it has through System Profiler.

Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info... > ATA

I know you can use the System Profiler but it doesn't really make sense because this is what comes up with:

HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B

You tell me which drive this is?
