Maximum Hard Disk Size in a Quicksilver 2002

Get the [specifications for your QS 2002|http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermacg4/stats/powermac_g4_933qs.html] Go to the link to "Int. HD interface" to read about it.

I'm too late to edit my previous post but the bottom line is it says that >128 are supported in the QS2002.

Look at these links.

Use an external firewire drive & you are not limited.

Possible Alternative - SpeedTools ATA Hi-Cap Support Driver: Allows the use of extended capacity ATA drives (drives greater than 128 Gigabytes in size) on older (Pre Mirrored Door) G4 and G3 Macintoshes running MacOS X versions 10.2 and later. Cost $24.95

According to everymac.com:

The Power Macintosh G4 (Quicksilver 2002) series is very similar to the "Quicksilver" series that it replaced -- both share an identical case design, for example -- but the Power Macintosh G4/933 (Quicksilver 2002) and Power Macintosh G4/1.0 DP (Quicksilver 2002) -- have faster processors with faster DDR SDRAM level 3 caches. Additionally, all Quicksilver 2002 models add support for hard drives larger than 128 GB, add support for dual displays, and have slightly faster optical drives.
