    All versions of the CF-19 use SATA, so any modern 2.5"-drive should be fine. The biggest ones are 640GB at the moment, I believe.(?)
    With XP Tablet you might start running into problems when the drives exceed 2TB, but that will take a while.

    There are also a few larger notebook drives available like this one with 1TB, but at 12.5mm height these drives are physically larger than the usual 9.5mm sized drives. I wonder if one of these can be crammed into a Toughbook caddy?

    I was going to correct you ,but I see on the link that it is 5200 rpm not the more common 5400 rpm

    Anyways the largest drive that I am using is 7200rpm and 500gb, total overkill
    I get by fine with a 32GB ssd ,as I back up on dvd's,for me it's far safer than leaving data on the hard drive
