Hey, will Hitachi's 400gig sata drive pop into my G5? Okay, yah, I'm sure I can wedge it in, but will the G5 recognize it, or is there a maximum size that the G5 will recognize?

And if all signs say "yes", does anyone out actually have one of these beasts?

thx

Yup, what he said.

pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside,
thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, shouting GERONIMO!"

i would love to see apple start to use those in the RAID's. Imagine 14 * 400GB!!!

A dual 2.5, an xserve raid with 14*400GB, and an AJA Kona 2 capture card would make one hell of an editting system!

I'm seriously leaning towards getting on of these beasts, as my G5 has become a DV footage warehouse. 3 year old + miniDV camcorder = rapidly shrinking HD!

Now if I could just fing the necessary $500...
