Let's bring this topic ahead 5 years..
What's the biggest hard drive available for the empeg?

FAQ entry says no limit on size (theorhetically) but mentions that
at the time of this entry's writing (June 29, 2006), SATA drives don't work...

And now with perpendicular magnetic recording,
ferro-fluid ganeuten valve timing and high velocity knocker pins,
just what exactly am I looking for in high capacity hard drives for my empeg?

I've seen 160GB drives for 110 USD
<borat>very nice</borat>

I found these 2 drives from Hitachi. Here's the Data Sheet

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Model Number: HTS541616J9AT00
Part Number: 0A50817
Size: 2.5"
Capacity: 160GB
Interface: ATA ATA-7

Model Number: HTS541616J9AT00
Part Number: 0A50818
Size: 2.5"
Capacity: 160GB
Interface: ATA ATA-7

Might these drives work?
Anyone have good suggestion for big drives for empeg under $150 each?
Or maybe even bigger ones for some knid of reasonable price?
