[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 980011, member: 8287"] I own a Quicksilver 733 Mhz G4. All of them take standard IDE (ATA) hard drives. The Power connector is the same as any IDE drive in a PC. So is the Data connector. You must be thinking of the newer SATA drives with that small Serial ATA connector and strange power connector. Only way to put a SATA drive in the QS is with a PCI SATA card that is OSX compatible. I would just go with an IDE drive. Older Macs have a 128GB limit but my 733 works with larger drives like the newer Macs. I am told that most Quicksilvers will support any size modern IDE drive. Mine sure does. [/QUOTE]
