Hey,
I just installed a 1TB 2.5" SATA hard disk into my G4 mac mini using one of
those SATA to PATA Superdrive bays you can find on ebay for $10. Had the OS
installed on the old 80GB hard disk which I will not remove, I did have to
change that old disk to SLAVE, however. Works like a charm. Moving data
from old 80GB PATA to new 1TB SATA at around 40MB/sec, fair enough.

Care to share the eBay item number, or the eBay link?
The adapters which I found were all for 3.5"/5.25" drives, NOT 2.5" drives.
