I need more hard drive space for my blue & white G3. Since it is a revision 1 G3, I can't just plop another IDE drive in there. The xlr8yourmac site has lots of information and advice--so much, really, that it's overwhelming--and they do have instructions for adding a slave IDE drive, but they strongly suggest that to do so, an IDE PCI card needs to be installed. So if I'm going to have to add a card, I may as well add a SCSI card, right?
I don't have any sufficiently large drives lying around, so I'm going to have to purchase whatever I add. So should I install an internal drive or buy an external drive, which would cost more but could be used with my iBook and probably with whatever my next Mac desktop is? If I go internal, do I go with IDE or SCSI? If I go external, should I go with FireWire, USB, or a combo drive? Should I buy a pre-built external drive or get a case and drive and put them together? Could these decisions be based simply on how much the various setups cost, or are there other considerations? Does anyone have any advice for me or can you point me to where I might find guidance?
