Rich seemed to say the TB wasn't so appealing. Does this G4 have 128GB limit? I have MDD G4, no such limit. It's packed with 500GB PATA drives and the SATA 1.5TB. I agree the SATA card $50 + 1.5TB drive $80 is a great deal, and leaves another SATA connector. But he seemed to not be going after that storage capacity.
