If price is an issue, I would agree with any one who recommended a Samsung. If you have a little extra to splurge, bet the Lacie electron 19, and you won't be disappointed. Kbee.

my g3 is making noises and i am damn sure that it is the fan. not all the time but every once and awhile. do any of you have any tips on what i should do? should i take it apart an…

I'm just learning this stuff. It depends on which fan it is, and what it sounds like. I know little of the G3s, but it probably changes the rate of the fan as per the temperature …

When installing a IDE CD-RW in a G4, will I need a special piece of software (driver) for Mac?
