200 gig as far as I know.
Sure about that? IDE up to ATA-100 standard has a max address limit of ~127
gb. The ATA-133 introduced 48bit addressing, which fixes that, and current
controllers all use the new standard. Something originally intended for 10gb
drives will almost certainly be limited to the old standard.

Hello!
Anybody on the list knows what is the maximum size
of the hard disk I can install in the IBM Travelstar
E PCMCIA enclosure? Officially came AFAIR in 2, 8
and 10 GB versions. Mine has 18 GB drive inside, I
think I've seen 30 GB one. I wonder if it would be
able to support 32+ GB drive. Also, what brands to
prefer/avoid? Not generally - heat, speed, noise are
not issues in the case, reliability too - I prefer
longer warranty to brand reputation. But some drives
may just be somehow incompatible with the PCMCIA
controller.
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Vitaly
