[G4] New External HD for G4 450? - Suggestions Please

[Dale Hoffman]

You can put two more drives in your G4.
If you add a PCI card, I think you can support 1TB internally.
That way you avoid the cost of an enclosure.
My other suggestion would be to get an external dock (Voyager from MacSales) and drop plain drives into it.
The dock connects via FW400/800 and USB and costs about $80.
Treat it like a Zip drive using full scale HDDs instead of Zip Cartridges.
