With the price of hard disks coming down, and the great advantages of having
one on the Amiga, one of the most often asked questions (that I get asked,
anyway), is "What hard drive should I get for my 500/1000/2000?".
Since I am familiar with only a few (2090, 2090A, C Ltd., and the Wedge), I
would like to attempt a survey to find out what the folks on the networks feel.
I want it to be a dual purpose survey, more than just "What brand should I
buy?". For this reason, I am including a few general questions about what you
look for in a hard drive (or what you are looking for, if you don't already
have one).
I will be posting this survey to Usenet and Compuserve, to get the widest
possible coverage. If anyone wishes to post it to another service, and to mail
the results to me, either here, or on Compuserve, please feel free to do so.
Please feel free to answer only some of the questions if you see fit. I would
rather have a partial response than none at all.
I will summarize the data and post to Usenet and Compuserve. Others may wish
to post the results services I don't frequent.
