Hey, I just installed a 1TB 2.5" SATA hard disk into my G4 mac mini using one of those SATA to PATA Superdrive bays you can find on ebay for $10. Had the OS installed on the old 80GB hard disk which I will not remove, I did have to change that old disk to SLAVE, however. Works like a charm. Moving data from old 80GB PATA to new 1TB SATA at around 40MB/sec, fair enough.
