[CUBE] Yes It Works! Anyone try a larger drive than 120 GB in a cube?

Kunga,

How is your 250GB drive holding up after the formating on the ATA 133 
unit?  I'm waiting to hear back from you as to whether there are any 
problems (ie. can you use the entire platter?).  I've got an 180GB IBM 
drive waiting to be used in my Cube that's much faster than the 120GB 
Western Digital i'm using.  That would give me a 180 GB system drive 
and with the 3 - other 120GB WDs I have plus the 120GB system drive, 
about 450GB of external firewire storage....Nice.  Here's what i'll be 
putting the 4 - 120 units in ( I purchased two) :
