[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 244570, member: 8287"] It's the limit on the built in IDE controler on the older Macs before the MDD. Like I said a PCI card will take care of it. It's not a problem when you go Firewire as that does not hook up to the IDE controler. My older P3 and before PC's had the same limit. Yeah, I knew about the heat with those DeathStars but some seemed to fail even when kept pretty cool. The one in my Mac was very cool and it died quite fast. Good luck and if you need any more help we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
