Any IDE disk should work just fine, but the capacity would be limited to the maximum supported size by the IDE bus in the StarMax. I tried googling for the actual ATA speed of the IDE bus, but had no luck. I've used a 4 GB drive and I believe even a 10 GB drive without worry. Both were IDE.
You might have to set the jumper on the hard drive to Master IIRC.
When I had my 200 MHz StarMax 4000 minitower a few of years ago, I had it running Mac OS 9.1 and Debian "sarge" just fine in a dual-boot configuration. The Disk Utility in Mac OS 9.1 was able to format the drive in Mac OS Extended format without a hitch.
