    (A question probably for Biff)

    Couldn't find this info readily, i'm looking to install 2 x 500gb internal hard drives into PPC 2.7 Dual G5 in a mirrored RAID config. Can i add another 250gb drive into the enclosure without any extra purchasing as in can they all run off the internal controller?

    I'm eager to hear his answer for this, I use the exact same machine in work and I want more space ;)

    The G5 units have two SATA ports, all up there in the drive sled area. You want to add 2 more drives, or two drives TOTAL?

    Three more drive locations

    You'd need an appropriate SATA card for that too

    You'll have to do the sonnet G5Jive thing, then. No good way to get three SATA drives in there if you don't.
