[G4] External SATA drive for Quicksilver

[Harry Freeman]

Greetings again Fred

You don't need a "Firewire" drive, just a firewire external enclosure. The
drive inside of my firewire enclosure is a Maxtor 300Gb IDE/EIDE drive.

The enclosure that I have is a "Versa - Drive" and it has a small fan. I can
leave this Firewire enclosure on all of the time, even on a very hot day and
it is only slightly warm to the touch.

I would highly recommend that you putout the extra cash for a drive like
mine as I know that you will be highly satisfied.

Cheers
