Of course U160 is the bus speed and there is no correlation between it and
the maximum size of the drives.
So there have been single drives up to 147GB with U160 interface. If you
take RAID Arrays sizes can go up to several TBs, which appear as single
drive to the host computer.
But then U160 and U320 are upwards and downwards compatible, meaning a
U320 drive will speak U160 to an U160 controller and an U320 controller
will talk U160 to an U160 drive.
So you can take any U320 drive and it will work as U160 on the chain.
Currently these drives (talking about single drives) go up to 300GB.
