What is the maximum sized hard drive a PowerMac G4 dual 867MHz can take?? I keep hearing different things like it can take up to four 500gb HD's and then I hear it wont recognize anything more than 128gb? What's the real deal???

My powermac g4 mdd recognized a 200GB drive, which is more than 120GB so if you have a MDD model, I'd say it could definitely handle 500GB.

Sure it will recognise them ~ remember the more HDD you put in there the hotter it will get. If you have the readies suggest installing one or maybe two larger drives, say two 500GB drives.
