The sky is the limit. Many of the new super sized hard drives bundle a
new controller to overcome hardware limitations. I have an old P120
computer with a 160GB hard drive. It uses its full capacity and speed
just as well as a brand new computer possibly could. No special software
needed. In fact, I took an old Slackware floppy to install linux on it.
I am writing this email on said computer!
The new controller even let me work with my old 1.2GB drives too...
