Internal Hard Drive Upgrade
I recently bought a ppc g5 quad and only put 250gb of hard drive space. I thought this would be enough, but then I realized that I need more space. A lot more space, but just 70 gigs or something, but a couple hundred more. So I'm gonna buy an internal and just shove it in there. Apple doesn't endorse any on thier website, and I don't want to cough up for a hard disk if its not gonna work. Does anyone have any experience with adding Hard Drive Disks to thier computers? Any recommended brands. I use all maxtors on my Linux boxes and like them a lot. I know they should just work, put them in, format them, done. But I just want to double check before i drop a couple hundred.

Slide it in, attach the cables that are right there, and go.
There is a video at http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_cente...sata/high.html , but who needs it?
It should be about $100-$120 after rebate for a Maxtor 250. Maybe less if you find a deal.
Take a look at http://www.tigerdirect.com if you need a starting place. I had to return a drive there once and it was no hassle at all.

True -- I made the same mistake, even though I had seen the addendum to the video.
The videos for the iPod mini and Cube upgrades are great.
