[CUBE] Anyone try a larger drive than 120 GB in a cube?

Sorry Joost, you are mistaken. Your friend is right Nic. I just 
installed a 250 GB WD 7200 RPM HD with 8MB buffer divided into 4 
partitions of 20 GB for X, 17.67 GB for 9 (minimum allowed on this 
monster), 67 GB and 127.57 GB and they are all there. Thank God I 
bought that dual 867. I knew it would be good for something.

The trick is you have to set it up on a Mac that has an ATA/100 bus 
somewhere on it (native or via PCI card). I am so excited. I now have 
233 GB (net) of space INSIDE my Cube. Wow! That means I can put the 
other one outside on my external IDE cable and have 466 GB (net) of 
space. My optical is in a FW case. Whoopie!
