So I have this dual 1.25 MDD tower with a 120gb HD. 2gb ram, FW80 PCI card. FW400 and USB (not USB 2.0, yet)
I have a line on two 500gb IDE 7200RPM drives.
I want to use one as the primary drive and the other as a backup, along with an external 500gb HD for redundancy.
I want to transfer all the stuff on my 120gb drive to the 500gb drive.
How do I go about doing this?
I believe my tower can hold 4 HDs, correct? Will I need additional cables or it is setup to handle two drives from Apple?
I also have a G3 ibook at my disposal, not sure if that will help the process or not.
I also have a retail copy of Leopard, if needed.
This may be a basic question, but I haven't a clue where to begin.
Thanks in advance guys. I truly appreciate it.
Also, is it worth upgrading the video card? if so, suggestions?
