I have one in a QS on a PCI-SATA card. It's working fine so far. It's only been two weeks but it does have 3-400 Gb on it. I had been looking to get the 1.5 Tb Seagate drive but with the problems it had then the problems the "fix" caused I just gave up on it and went for the Hitachi. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
