    Thanks at all.
    Today I am back on italy and thanks to all the suggestions for my questions
    I have buy on USA and bring to me:
    Aja Kona 3 with break out box
    Aja IO la
    Tempo sonnet E4P pcie express
    2 Tempo fusion 5P bay
    Unfurtunately the guy of newegss and few other site on internet was not hable to send me 10 hd on time for my depart so now I have to get the hd.
    so few question more:
    1: on wich PCIe slot of my G5 Quad will be better install the kona card? any difference? (I have read that the TEmpo e4 I have to install or in slot 2 or 4 not on 3)
    2: wich hd sata 2 have the better perfomance (500 giga size), in italy Maxtor is very easy to find and are not so expensive.
    thanks for the suggestions

    I have never seen Maxtor SATA drives. I have used both the Seagate and Hitachi SATA drives, and both are excellent.
