Does anyone know...
If I put (4) SATA harddrives into a 4-bay SATA enclosure that has a

use it in a standard 2.5" USB enclosure?

HELP! Best 1 TERABYTE External Harddrive?
Looking for the BEST 1 TB Harddrive, either the individual drives and I
can put them in an enclosure, or the full package already in an
enclosure.

Thanks!

Hi. I am looking for some expert advice. I own a G4 Cube that has a
450mhz processor and 768 megs of RAM. Its DVD drive is broken, so I am

edit HDV Hi-Def DV from a Sony HDV Video Camera with Final Cut Pro 5?
If not, any recommendations for editing HDV on a Mac?

If I'm in the wrong place, please let me know where I should be asking.

I have a 1 year old 12" iBook and lately the keyboard had been acting
up. I seem to get a lot of unintended doublestrokes. l's, t's and d's
seem to pop up more frequently than other letters. I've tried fiddling
with some of the keyboard settings but to no avail - that is, reducing

I'm looking to upgrade an iMac G3 333mHz.  It has 128MB ram and I was
just wondering if it takes PC100 or PC133 RAM?  I've looked online and
can't seem to find whether or not it uses the "standard long size" or
the "short kinda like notebook" RAM.

Best Buy is selling a 300G Seagate external firewire drive for $200.
model ST3300601C
Seems almost too good to pass up.  (best $/gigabyte ratio of anything I've
looked at.)

dear mac users,
i was recently working happily away on my 3 year old ibook G3 when the
screen suddenly turned into a bunch of lines, as if the video card was
on the fritz.

Best 120GB Powerbook Hard Drive? SEAGATE OR FUJITSU?
Which drive is better?  Seagate brand or Fujitsu for 2.5" powerbook
120GB HD drives?
TIA!
