There have been multiple posts I've read on this list saying that for some reason HDs over 250 GBs and drives that are 250, have problems with Linux. Not that I'm aware of. I recently had to fix a fedora box with two 400GB SATA discs in. If it works in Fedora, I'll bet my bottom dollar you won't have issues in SUSE.
The only potential problem for you is the age of your machine. If you're buying and IDE drive, you motherboard's BIOS may not support such a big drive. However, if you buy a SATA addon card with a SATA disc, you won't have any problems. Linux doesn't really care about disc size. I've set up raid cards with a whole lot of discs in raid-5 (which presents itself as one disc to the operating system) of over a Terabyte, without any hassles. Hans
