    Posted by Lokidrummer on December 28, 2005 at 5:55 pm

    Hi, I’m running a powermac G4, and want to put another hard drive in it. I’ve been told i’ll need an ATA hard drive but i can’t find a single ATA hard drive out there. All i can find are the Serial ATA. So what should i do, i do alot of video editing so an external HD isn’t really all that good for me. So yea, any help? Thanks

    You might get confused beacause these drives are usually (or at least quite often) called IDE drives.
    They are by and large still the most common drives out there.

    I’m not usually buying my drives in the US, but here’s a link. -;)

    You should definitely have a didicated media drive with FCP 5

    Have fun!
