I bought a ST125 at a computer show in my home town, and I was very suprised to find that it couldn't be mounted in the 3 1/2 inch slot, at least myself, and about ten dealers couldn't figure out how. (One dealer, said that ST506 3 1/2" drives except to be mounted from the sides, not the bottom). So anyway, don't buy an ST125 for your 2000. Now, does anyone have a list of all the hardrives 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" that have worked in the amiga (including being able to mount them). If not I would be willing to manage (read keep) an updated list of drives known to work for the Amiga, and post it once in a while. If your using a drive that isn't listed in the 2090 manual, send me a note. include (drive name, storage size, which slot you used, controller, and anything special you had to do to get it to work).
