Hey just wondering if anyone has seen this, used it etc. The number one reason I need a new mac is for drive space to hold these ever increasing sample libraries. No, I do not want to replace my existing HDs because the time it would take to remove and re-install is not worth the $$. So here is this device that allows you to install 3 more drives into a mac g5 that can only house 2 drives (slightly older g5s, new ones have more space for HDs)

Opinions?

There are some who have used it no problem. Get the SATA II card.
It will take up a PCI slot though, so you will only have 2 available slots.
