[comp.sys.amiga] Hard drive recomendations

todhor@auto-trol.UUCP (Tod Hornsby) (03/09/90)

I am currently considering which harddrive
to get for my A2000. I went down to the dealer
to get the paperwork to order a 2091-40 at the
educational discount ($589). The salesman suggested
and really pushed the GVP equilent hardrive
saying that is was a better driver with a
1 year warranty at $625 (their sale price). I 
forget the GVP model number but it's a 40meg
(Quantum like the 2091) and  can also be
populated with 2 megs of RAM like the 2091.

To me these 2 hardrives seem about the same
and both come from reputable companies and
even include the same brand drive (Quantum)

Can anybody tell me if either has a definite
advantage over the other as far as quality,
performance, price etc....
Your opinions/experiences are greatly appreciated.

P.S. does the 2091 overcome the deficiencies I 
have heard about concerning the 2090As (Problems
with DMA while in hi-res mode for instance)?
