TICKET ARCHIVE -> Max Hard drive size for PowerMac G4

Zeniq - Aug 25, 2006 - 9:15 am

There is a PowerMac G4 Tower in my office where I work, and I would like to make it a file storage medium for netrestore disk images. Therefore, i need as much hard disk space as possible in this machine. Is there is a maximum hard drive capacity in a single drive that a PowerMac G4 will accept?

Thanks,
Zeniq

Hi Evan

If the G4 is a Quicksilver model or newer, it will support any large drive.

If it's an older G4 model, you can add an ATA/IDE Controller card for large drive support.

You can check the specs here;
