Hello, while some earlier posts have touched on upgrading g3 iMac's, I just wanted to pose my specific question. I want to replace the 10 G hard drive on this 400MH slot load with something bigger and faster. I believe there is no point in going above 128 G, and no faster than 5200rpm. There aren't a lot of drives for sale now that fit that. If it's ok to mention names, I wondered if this item, Maxtor 80 GB 5400 rpm IDE ATA/133 2MB Cache 3.5" Internal Hard Drive, would likely work for me? or other advice?
I'd stay away from Maxtor plus with SpeedTools from OWC you can use larger drives. I would use fastest drive I can afford.
