    Hi there,
    I own a PowerMac G5 and I need to buy a hard drive (as my two internal SATA drive slots are full). I’m currently capturing DV footage shot on an XL2, but may wish to stream in HD stuff later.
    I’ve heard that G-Drive stuff advertised on this site is really good, but is there a more affordable option?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Don’t skimp on drives. There may be more affordable options out there but it isn’t worth the lost productivity and hasle of dealing with drive problems. G-tech is very highly regarded and seems to be worth the investment. Whatever you buy heat is a major consideration. Lacie’s run VERY hot. Just about everyone out there has drive horror stories with just about evry drive manufacturer. Mine happened to be with seagate. For all the grief I’d wished I had bought the G-tech in the first place. I’m expecting my G-raid soon so I’ll have first hand experience with it. Regards-Ralph
