if you are running everything at 25fps its almost possible to use only a single 15k or 10k drive.Originally Posted by samsc

Correct but in my opinion if we are going to spend the $$ I would like to spend a little more and get the best. I thought you were saying earlier that the slowest drive would slow the whole system down. So wouldn't a SATA drive slow the system down if I had 2 15k SCSI drives for media?
I also want to keep the CD drive intact. I think I would add one of those internat mounting options for the SATA drive then. However is there anyway to find out if the 15k drives get too hot for the G5's fan setup?
Have you talked to Andy?

the os drive has no effect on performance.Originally Posted by tylerr
testing it. measure the temperature - leave it running for a couple of days - and use you hand to see how hot it gets - or use a thermometer.Originally Posted by tylerr
as long as you dont put any movies on it. it wont affect anything at all.Originally Posted by samsc

there was a rumour that the next mac revision might have more internal drive bays -- but they havent turned up yet.
and one should never rely on rumours - especially apple ones.
