120 GB as a practical max; 137 GB as an absolute max. Some UATA/100 cards and all UATA/133 cards support 48-bit LBA, and this has no practical maximum for the forseeable future. Note that some UATA/33 devices have firmware patches which allow these to exceed the 137 GB absolute maximum ... usually extending this to 160 GB, for specific drive models. These would be certain ACARD "SCSI/IDE bridges" (not their PCI cards), and the Oxford 911 Firewire bridge. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
