Will this HDD work in an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

Yes, SATA is all backward and forward compatible.
Also thank you for using the correct terminology instead of some made up crap like "SATA 3."

Its compatible yes. You won't get 6Gb/s though. The Mac Pro bus runs at 3Gb/s.

I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

Thank you for the replies.
Didn't actually know I was using the correct terminology to be honest; just copied what I saw on the website.
As for actual throughput speed - not really worried. I just want 4 of the drives in my Mac Pro (to replace 4 x 1.5TB) to expand my media server.
So long as I can make it into 4 partitions (375GB - Boot, 525GB Music Archive, 100GB Xp Pro Bootcamp, 2TB - Media Archive) then I am all set :-)
