[G4] RE: How to use a Seagate SATA drive on a G4 AGP

[rich northouse]

Dick,

There was maybe a dozen posts very recently about the pros of a SATA 
drive vs ATA.  Most folks spoke of a significant increase in 
performance and speed.  Yes the card is about $60 and the drives can be 
bought about the same price, perhaps a little , than a ATA drive.  I 
bought a 120 gig SATA for $50 about about two months ago and have been 
waiting to install it. The recent raving about the better SATA 
performance inspired me to purchase the SATA card. It just arrived 
today -- Sonnet $64 from newegg.com.  I plan on making everything work 
this weekend.  Check the SATA posts during the past month for more 
info.
