Blade 100. Just because Sun only sold them with max 20GB or 40GB drives, thats the only size they put in the docs. It doesn't make it the limit for actually using things, that limit comes in from other factors. I have dual 120GB drives running right now (and for the last ~6+ years) in my SunBlade 100. No problems. Just had to add the other IDE cable. You do have to deal with the lack of Ultra-ATA (apparently in the OpenFirmware layer) so 120GB is the max size you can use with the built in controller.
