My G4 is running X..4.10.
Final Cut Studio 5.04
I have three 80 gig drives in it.
One's a Samsung, one's a Seagate BArracuda, and one an IBM UltraStar.
The IBM is shoved in under the DVD drive  (slower bus)
They all have similar specs and all work well.
I am also usiing a WD on the G5 and like it.
I think you can use up to 120  gig drives but the 80's are cheap.
I also bought a firwire/USB external box and installed one of my old  
40 gig Seagates in there and it is hanging off the G4.
  No reason to chuck the G4 .

My strategy is always to run programs off my boot drive and video off  
the number two.
I put music and photos on the boot drive and assign all my rendering  
to the second.
  This breaks up the work so everything can run at full speed. And I  
can wipe #2 between projects.
