    This article describes the internal mass-storage options in the Macintosh
    Quadra 950.

DISCUSSION


    The floor-standing case provides flexibility for internal mass-storage
    devices. There are four half-high mounting locations. Two of the four are
    in the front of the case, accessible for removable media. Any of the four
    locations can accommodate either a 3.5-inch or a 5.25-inch hard disk drive.
    The 1.44MB SuperDrive disk drive doesn't take up one SCSI slot, therefore
    there are four additional SCSI connections possible.

    A hard disk drive for the Quadra 950 computer can be a 3.5-inch or 5.25-
    inch half-height device or a 5.25-inch full-height device. The Quadra 950
    comes with either a 230MB or 400MB hard drive. Third party full-height
    drives are available with even higher capacities. Third parties will have
    to ship their internal devices with a carrier. Users must keep track of
    the SCSI IDs of their internal devices, use Get Info on each drive to check
    the IDs, or use a public domain package such as SCSI Probe to make sure
    there is no conflict on the SCSI bus. A note on this has been added to the
    User's Guide.

    The upper-front location will always be filled with a 1.44MB SuperDrive.
    The lower front location can accommodate a backup device, either tape or
    magneto-optical, or a non-removable SCSI device. One of the internal
    storage devices in the Quadra 950 computer can be a CD-ROM drive, installed
    at the front for media access.
