Swift Data 200

Friday, Jun. 18 2004 | Author: MacGeek

If you are like me, you feel that, despite the glowing features and sexy, ego-boosting looks of your dual G5 (for a fun party treat, just take off the side cover and watch all your nerd friends go “whooooaa”), only having room for two hard drives seems, at best, frustrating.

If you are also like me, you realize that by the time you actually fill up the 160gb of space, the price of 250gb and larger drives will have sufficiently dropped and you can double or even triple the storage you have now. But what happens when you fill up that additional space and are left wondering how you can add more internal storage without replacing the smaller drive?

Enter the Swift Data 200 from transintl.com. Unlike the G5Jam from WiebeTECH, which replaces the G5’s air baffle and takes up valuable PCI card space, this system sits comfortably between the front of the case and the two heat sink fans and can house up to three drives. It’s also considerably cheaper, even comparably equipped.

Pretty slick.
