[G5] Optional Hard Disk

[David Delmonte]

You can use your old drive if you put it in an external enclosure.  
Typically these are firewire connected to the MacPro. Honestly, disk  
prices have dropped so dramatically that you would do better to  
purchase a SATA hard drive and install it in a spare bay in your  
computer. I have found (the hard way) that disk drive life is  
relatively short, so I plan on replacing my drives on a 4-5 year cycle  
maximum. It's better than losing your valuable photo collection.

Hi Guys:
I"ve just been hurled out of OS 9. My old CPU was replaced by a Mac Pro.
What Hard Drives, can I use that are not as expensive?
(Original is Serial ATA 3Gb/s)

My old G4 Dual 1.25GHz, used a Maxtor 120GB ATA/133.
Is it compatible to be used for Photo storage?

I have a lot to relearn new Mac Pro & Leopard.
Thanks John
