Well, there are (at least) 400G drives on the market
now. I think you should be able to go as high as
200G, if you so desire. Keep in mind that the
lamebrain Windoze standard is to have just one
humongous C:, which contains everything, and nothing
else ! That being said, I should note that the
largest drive I have in service right now is a 160,
the largest partition is at 80G (FAT-32), and this is
used only under W2K, so far. I have heard some
compelling reports of stability problems with larger
NTFS partitions, but I've not encountered any yet with
larger FAT-32 ones.
