I have a 32gb sata ssd in mine with a convertor. Works like a charm. CF to IDE adapters simply don't work on Performa 630 type machines. That's definitely not accurate, I've been using one in my 630CD for literal years. Large CF cards, or cards that don't speak "true IDE" will likely fail, though.

@Byrd, what OS are you running on your Quadra?
Because of the DOS Card in mine it wasn't playing nice with Mac OS 8.1, so OS 7.6.1 it is for the time being. Out of preference I'd go 8.1 owing to HFS+ support for your big HD.
