quicksilver and hard drives...

I know this was an issue a long time ago, but I can't remember if it was resolved or not.

The problem is that I am running out of hard drive space on my Quicksilver. I have a 60GB drive set as my master drive and an 80Gb drive that is full of music... FULL of music... I have a total of about 10GB free after clearing out everything that I know I don't need. I have a media PC that desperately needs another hard drive (only a 40GB in it now).

So I was thinking about buying a 160GB drive and putting that in my Quicksilver in place of the 60 or 80GB drive, but I remember that there was an issue that this model could not support drives any larger that 134GB or somewhere in that range. Is this still a problem or was it fixed with a firmware update?

I think it's a 128GB limit on the IDE controller, and appart from getting another PCI controller to run the HDD off of, there is nothing you can do. I'd just get a 120GB HDD if I were you.
