[QUOTE="RayLee, post: 396207, member: 14564"] Thank you, but now I have a couple more questions, will the new drives/PCI SATA card be faster than my older 160's? both 7200 RPM the new ones have a 16mb catch vs. 8 if I remember correctly. (both are Seagate's) If its going to be the same speed I could just toss the 300's in my Mac Pro and add an extra ultra ATA 160 to the G4 (I figured I would wait a bit to decide what size and configuration would be best for the new machine, but its an option now. The G4 is a single 1 GHz Power PC, not the fastest but will be great for work, we shoot sports in JPG so even though they are 12 mega pixel cameras the files are pretty easy to deal with (storage is the big issue, I can shoot 4000 images in a weekend) anything to look out fro i fI buy the card for the G4? compatibility issues with the Seagate's or anything? thanks again Ray [/QUOTE]
