I'm about to add another 3'rd party disk drive to my PI and I've got a
few questions.  I currently have an external 3'rd party tower which has
two empty drive bays and one Wren 6.  I'm trying to decide between getting
~700MB or 1.2GB.  One of the dealers I talked with said the PI can't
access/address past the 1GB range on a drive.  Does anyone have any
information on this?  Their actual experience was with a 1.6GB drive.

Can the Iris make full use of a 1.2GB drive?  The specific model I'm
looking at is a Wren 7.

If I can't use the Wren 7, then I've got a choice between getting another
Wren 6 (so far it's worked fine for me) and getting a Hitachi DK515.
Has anyone had any experience using the Hitachi?
