Supra makes large model hard disks.  At the recent World Of Atari expo in
Santa Clara,  Supra showed a 250mb (!) hard disk.

Berkeley Micro Systems has an interface board (set) that will allow one to
connect just about any ST506/412 or SCSI interfaced hard disk.

I don't know much about them, but BTL apparently offers the same sort of
setup as well as ready to run units.
