Easier access? What are you doing that you need to "access" this HD? When you unplug the cables it twist the lock, it should easily slide downward and out? The best idea is get a matched pair of drives and use them as a RAID 0 striped pair using both available slots (the extra mount screws for the 2nd HD are on the wall of the HD area). This will nearly double the speed of read/writes, and you can use a USB or FW external HD to backup to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
