Adding HD capacity..

[Stephen L. Phillips]

Help, again?? (thanks to all  who posted and replied to my queries re: 
remote desktop access!)...
Just got off the phone with Apple support (yep, spent the big bucks for 
Applecare!), but - although gracious and polite - their tech rep wasn't 
particularly knowledgeable with regard to my question, which is this:

I have a G4/933 (768M RAM, 2 internal 60G's) and need to add significant 
hard drive capacity for digital video conversion and storage. How large 
a drive can I install, and how many more (considering the fact that 
there are two internal's already? Also, would it be better to add an 
external firewire drive, and - if so - how large can I go?

I've seen posts at XLR8 indicating that some have added 160-250G drives 
with no problems, but - although I'm well versed in MAC software 
programs (used 'em for years, love 'em!), my technical skills are 
rudimentary (at least with respect to diagnosis.. but point me in the 
direction to go and tell me how, and I'm more than willing to tackle 
anything!).

I (of course) ultimately seek something in the "plug-n-play" genre, but 
am willing to undertake more in-depth install requirements, if required, 
in exchange for the ability to add mega-meg's (read that: GIG'S 
PLUS++++) to my system.

As always, I will rely upon the collective wisdom the membership of this 
list is willing to provide!

Thank you!
