Hi All
I have a G4 Dual 1.25 MDD with a sick HDD and I think I should
convert from PATA drives to SATA as suggested by a lister but I
don't know about the SATA cards like which one is good also the MDD
has four HDD bays. I really want to max the drive capacities. It
would be convenient because my "Stanley Steamer" ( G5 PM Dual
2.7) uses SATA drives.
I'm wondering if this is a top notch conversion or kinda a novel
patch type thing. Also I need to boot OS9 so a partition on one
drive of 180 Gig would be necessary?

I'm running a SeriTek/1S2 SATA controller with a Seagate 1TB drive
attached on my DA Dual 533.
QuickBench gives R/W speeds of about 95/96 MB/sec for its extended test.
My 750GB Seagate PATA on my QS Dual 1GHz gives R/W ~57/60 MB/s for
comparison.
I notice the difference ...
