The TeraScoop aluminum G5 case mod expands Mac hard drive storage capacity
Published by admin May 25th, 2006 in News 
The TeraScoop from DigitalVirgin, Inc is a creative Macintosh G5 case accessory that provides a ton of storage expansion possibilities. It actually replaces the G5 side panel with a smoothly curved aluminum bulge, which matches the G5 case quite nicely.
The scoop comes in a variety of configurations, in capacities up to 4TB and transfer rates up to 540MB/s. It (obviously) has it’s own power supply, a 300w system. Connectivity options include FireWire 800, PCI-X, PCI Express, and Infiniband. The company claims that it delivers “silent operation”.
There are a ton of options and price levels, you can pre-order yours now and expect shipment within a month. For the sake of an example, a TeraScoop configured with 1TB drive space and delivering 230MB/s via FW800 would set you back $3000.

Seems like a pretty hefty amount of cash to lay down for a mere terabyte of storage. I mean, it’s great that it matches the case and all, but… yow. That’s a lot of money. I can get two 500gb drives for $290 each at the moment, and external cases are cheap. (of course, if you happen to be of a more PC persuasion, you probably have room for them internally)
