Thanks ElDiabloConCaca and Kees Buijs. I have oredered a PATA drive for the master and will later install the SATA, with a card, for addtional storage. Cheers, Leonard

Hi DeltaMac, Say, less confused. Your info definitely helped. 1. The new Hitachi is a Serial-ATA (SATA). 2. My QSG4 is actually a 2002 model. Bottom line: I need a SATA card. Do you agree? L.

ElDiablo, WD is what first came to mind. I see the smallest is a 250gb (Blue Caviar??) so yes, the ide card is required. Hughvane, I will confirm which version I have. I think it is the Feb '02. I will check the Hitachis, too. What about bolting the new drive into the case? Do I need an...

Any suggestions on good brand name to install would be appreciated. My original is on the way out. Thanks. L.
