28 GB of disk is enough to store an image each of each distribution
released from each house since about 1995 with some room to spare (28 GB
store more than 44 CDROM images). Unless you back this up with some
serious network connections it will be a very nice statue (pesel) most
of the time ;).

The largest size of any one IDE disk that can be handled is determined by
the IDE interface, not the chipset, and should be == highest LBA
addressable number * size of a LB == 2^28 * 0.5K = 128 GB. This is kind of
enough for now ;)
