I think it depends on the motherboard revision. I've had an Ultra 5
that could not see past 120GB and an Ultra 10 that had a 160GB disk in
it with no problems whatsoever (and the disk was near 100% full most of
the time).
Cross-reference the 501 number on your U5's motherboard against the Sun
System Handbook. If you have the last revision, you'll probably be
okay.
