I need more storage space for my Dual 1.8gh G5. Can anyone point me to some good SATA internal drive manufacturers? Is Best Buy a good place to purchase a SATA internal storage drive?

Buy a drive 2 TB or smaller. If you buy a 3 TB drive you can use it as a data drive, but your G5 can't boot from it. Not unless you partitioned it down to 2 TB.
