[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A590 Harddiskspeed

rooijen@rulcvx.LeidenUniv.nl (A.J. van Rooijen) (09/19/90)

I have a A590 harddisk with a Western Digital 20MB drive. The speed of the
harddisk is about 160K/s for reading. Is this normal? Every other A590
users I know have an Epson drive. I know that I have a normal XT interface,
so I don't understand why the speed is so much less than other drives with
a XT/OMTI like interface. 
In the future I would like to have some more diskspace (en speed). What
does a 105MB Quantum drive cost and does it fit inside the A590 (of course
instead of the WD drive).
