It takes a standard IDE drive and the controler can support
up to 120gig. Depending upon the exact model you may have a problem
with the controler switching to 66mHz DMA, which it can not support.

>From what I understand Apple drives up to 20g were fixed at 33mHz in
their firmware and also the earliest Maxtor 20g drives. Other drives bigger
than 10g were a problem.

Drives released after the 80 wire cables became common will refuse to
go into 66mHz DMA mode with a 40 wire cable and therefore work fine.
