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

[Wade Perry]

Just my two cents on the ATA vs SATA issues. While the
cost of ATA vs SATA is certainly a concern. If you are
going to go the SATA route, spend the money and buy
the Seagate or Western Digital 10'000 rpm 74 GB drive.
We recently set up a new "desktop' system that runs a
POS database. The difference in access time and
throughput vs the 7,200 rpm drive is amazing. Check
the specs.

They are pricey, but unbelievably fast.
