Hi,
I've added large EIDE hard disks to my Q630 and its not minded one bit, that being both an 80 or 120GB drives, running OS 8.1 formatted as HFS+ so to not worry about partitioning issues on older operating systems. I'm pretty sure I formatted the drive on a G3 Mac running OS 9 before plugging it into the 630.
Cooling is poor in these cases though, so I wouldn't go for a hot running drive; for example some 7200RPM models do get quite toasty. You could also pick up a $5 CF to IDE adapter and experiment with this.
