Hi,
I have a G5 tower with 2 x 80gb SATA disks, and have been given a 160gb SATA hard disk, which I want to put in in place of the second 80gb disk.
Currently I have OSX on one, and various junk on the other - websites etc.
There's still enough space to move everything from the second 80gb disk to the first, so I'm thinking to do just that - move it over, put in the new disk and move it back.
But - is it that simple? Will file permissions etc get screwed up, and is it enough to just name it the same as the old one? Any tips?
Alternatively - can I add a 3rd disk? - I know the second one was very simple to add, but I never really looked to see if there was a practical way to add a 3rd.
This is the single 1.8ghz model.
Thanks!
