[G4] The definitive answer on hard drive limits?

[Send2Rich at aol.com]

I'd suggest considering adding a SATA PCI card.   I have had the SIIG Serial 
ATA 4-Channel PCI-M card with two 1TB Seagate ST31000340AS hard drives running 
on my G4 MDD with no problems (and MUCH better disk performance) for about 
three months now (OS X 10.4.11).   They, and Sonnet, also make 2-channel cards.
