[Lilux-help] external hard drive enclosure

[Eric Dondelinger]

Hi,

I'm looking into buying an external hard drive enclosure with
USB2 & firewire ports, for fitting with an IDE or SATA 3.5" drive.

I've been doing some research, but I've nowhere found information
on the maximum capacity these things support - I imagine the
IDE-to-USB-or-Firewire bridge would be subject to the same sort
of limitations we've seen over the years with the PC BIOS.
Can anyone point me to more info?

TIA, Eric
