I have this older Seagate external HDD enclosure with a 160GB drive inside that is one its way out so I'd like to replace it, but I'm curious, are there limitations to what I can replace it with? Obviously, it's a PATA drive, uses an 80-pin cable and standard Molex 4-pin for power. But do I need to research the internal IC's to see if there are any practical limits to what size it can accomodate?
I just want to put a long-lasting drive in it for the purpose of storing pictures and videos that the wife seems to accumulate so quickly. This way I don't have to keep storing everything on my system, and clearing off her main drive whenever she has software issues.
