I bought a 160 GB around one year and a half ago, at not too bad a price. I
don't remember the exact price of this and the alternative drives, but I
have a habit of preferring value-for-money over top-of-the-line, so my bet
is that even larger (and much more expensive) drives were available at that
time.

It should. If it does not it should have a BIOS update that will.
