Will I be OK as far as the OEM power supply goes, and if not, would removing
the 2 ATA drives help?
How many drives do you have? I'm only counting four.
OEM 30 GB ATA HD
plus additional internal 40 GB IBM ATA HD
1 Tb Hitachi 7200 rpm SATA drive off a 2 port internal SeriTek152 PCI card
plus the your new Western Digital 2000 GB
(I assume the 2 external drives use a separate power supply.)
The grand total would be six, four internal and the 2 external FW
drives self powered. Openning up the ATA drive slots/sleds would
allow me to mount the 2 SATA drives where apple designed them to be
which in theory, may be in a spot with optimal cooling. Rather
unlike having them flopping around on top of the super drive I
imagine. They account for less than 5 % of the 2 Tb's capacity, so I
guess it wouldn't be that big of a loss.
Thanks
