I have a box full of SCSI-3 drives, but they are all smaller sizes,
only 18gb, 36gb & 73gb drives. I would suggest if you are going to do
this to have a faster system, put MacOSX on the faster SCSI drive and
use a larger IDE drive for storage of your large files, like videos
and huge iTunes libraries. SCSI drives are not yet really cheap, or
cheaper than IDE drives. Finding large SCSI drives will likely be
expensive and you won't find them as large as the current IDE and SATA
drives. I don't know the speed of, or availability of SATA
controllers that will work in a G4 PowerMac, but that might be a
better choice, instead of searching for old SCSI hardware and drives.

So what are the best drives and cards for scsi? Am I able to find
larger drives in scsi? Seems as though, looking at the Mac swap list
that,sadly, that a used option would be as expensive as a new one?
Ne deals ne one?
