Isn't there also room on the B&W G3 Rev.b 'case floor' for more
drives beneath the optical drives?
Yes, and those two places are reserved for two 18/36 GB SCSI drives,
which are attached with (and to) an Apple LVD/SE cable and
controller. A
pair of 18 GB 7200 rpm in one, and a pair of 36 GB 10000 rpm in the
other.
So ...
Each B&W can accommodate a pair of 60/120 GB drives on the UATA/33
bus,
for system residence; a fast optical recorder/rerecorder on the
"multiword" bus for CD/DVD authoring; a very large ATA drive, also
on the
"multiword" bus, for long-term storage; and two very high performance
SCSI drives, for short-term storage.
Those bottom places aren't "reserved" for SCSI devices, ANY 3.5"
drive can go there, it's a good place to mount that other SATA drive
Sean's talking about.
Also adding an additional fast CD recorder is useful even if you have
a superdrive. My superdrive is 8x CD, the CDRW it replaced was 52X.
That thing burned CDs really fast.
