Hi Kyle (and others). I think it depends on the model of G4. For example, you can get new G4's from the Apple Store with 160 gig drives without have to buy a controller card. John

I can't find the reference right now, but I believe the maximum size
that can be recognized by the onboard ATA controller is 137GB.

Yep. You're right. 160gb drives can be used, but the machine will see
about 128gb's formatted. You can get a controller card or pair a couple of
huge drives in a G4 for more space.
