Then look at costs for modern SCSI drives. And if the prices don't scare you off pay your money and take your choice. SCSI was great for the PCI Macs. But those old drives got behind as things moved ahead. Tiger Direct seems to have sold off the last of their stock months ago. they are getting harder to find. I like the technology but SATA is good enough for end users on a budget. But if you get a deal on working drives and a Mac friendly interface card check your storage needs and alternatives against the cost. Just beware of wear and tear on used drives. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.youtube.com/fluxstringer http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
