[QUOTE="jpdemers, post: 896225, member: 117810"] The ATA controller in the G3 is limited to 127 GB of storage, so don't waste money on anything much bigger. Unless you're doing seriously drive-intensive work (not likely on a G3!), you'll never notice the differences in performance between the various makes and models -- I suggest hitting eBay for an IDE drive in the 120-140 GB range. They're cheap enough, so go for a new one if you can find one (a used drive could be years from failing, or only days away.) [/QUOTE]
