RE: I had ata ide 10 gig,5400 rpm drive that came with G4 350 sawtooth 1oomhz bus speed, Im now useing an Ibm 45 and maxtor 80 gig 7200 rpm hardrives,I thought my machine ran cool and quiet to begin with,now,it is just a little more responsive,but more important its much more stable with the WD caviar gone,I just didnt realize it was causeing me trouble,Im not sure SCSI is enough faster for the extra money,I think it depends if your machine presantly supports two ATA drives,or if scsi is needed.it really depends on your machine and what you use it to do.. I hope this helps some
