    The largest is the WD2500BEVE. You need to get a 2.5" enhanced-IDE hard disk drive (aka EIDE, IDE, PATA. Not SATA).

    You also need to do some further research (find out) whether your computer's chipset supports 48-bit LBA address. If it does not, the largest hard drive your computer can accommodate is 137GB, regardless of how large the drive actually is.
