[X4U] 3 Gb/s HD

[Paul Moortgat]

Christopher,

There's a 3 Gb drive inside when delivered, I've another 3 Gb from a  
G5 and a non 3 Gb also from that G5.
I've enough drives, I just wanted to know if it would arm to install  
it as thew third drive.  And I already have an external drive for  
backup.
